The Met Office has issued a warning ahead of heavy rain this weekend.
Due to the ground already being saturated following recent bad weather, the Met Office has warned it may cause an increased risk of flooding.
According to the forecaster, there is a small chance homes and businesses in the affected area could be flooded, and fast flowing or deep floodwater may cause a danger to life.
The weather is also expected to have an impact on train and bus services in the region, and may also cause difficult driving conditions.
The forecaster said: “There is the potential for some very unsettled weather through the coming weekend, especially across southern, central and western Scotland with periods of heavy rain expected through Saturday and, after a respite overnight, Sunday.
“The rain will fall onto already saturated ground increasing the risk of flooding.”
