Residents evacuated from their house in village
Three people were evacuated from their home in a Fife village yesterday afternoon as wind and rain battered the east of Scotland.
A water rescue unit was called in to remove residents from a house on Ceres Road in the village of Pitscottie, near Cupar.
An older couple and a younger male were taken to safety in an inflatable dinghy after their home became flooded during persistent heavy rain.
The residents are now being supported by Fife Council and the local authority continues to monitor the weather situation across the kingdom.
Multiple Fife roads were closed due to flooding. A full list of current closures is available on the Fife Council website.
Heavy rain caused disruption throughout the day, and the amber warning for rain was in place until midnight.
A Fife Council spokesperson said: “One household was evacuated from Ceres Road in Pitscottie.
“The residents are now being supported by the council.”
