A flood alert has been issued across the north-east of Scotland due to heavy rainfall.
The warning, put out by the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA), extends from Aberdeen City across Aberdeenshire as far north as Fraserburgh and Banff.
Inland areas will also be affected, including Ballater, Braemar, Huntly and Keith.
In a statement, SEPA said: “A period of heavy rain is expected to affect eastern parts of the area during Friday morning.
“The intensity of the rain may cause localised surface water flooding, particularly in built up areas and to low lying land and roads.
“Flooding from some rivers and small watercourses is also possible.”
The heavy rain is expected to clear by around 10pm tonight.
The statement continued: “Remain vigilant and remember, it is your responsibility to take actions which help protect yourself and your property.
“Advice and information is also available through Floodline on 0345 9881188.”
