Forecasters have issued warnings for rain in parts of Scotland – some in areas which have already seen heavy downpours causing flooding.
Around 90 properties were evacuated and hundreds of homes left without power yesterday while several motorists were rescued from their vehicles in Alyth in Perthshire.
Elsewhere, heavy rain forced the suspension of play for several hours at the 144th Open Championship in St Andrews, Fife.
The Met Office has issued yellow “be aware” warnings for rain in Perth and Kinross and Stirling regions and much of western Scotland today.
The persistent and sometimes heavy rain is expected to be accompanied by strong winds and the warning is valid until around 1pm, the Met Office said.
Flood warnings from Scottish Environment Protection Agency (Sepa) also remained in place for Tayside while there were flood alerts for Aberdeenshire and western Scotland.
The flooding in Alyth saw the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) helping to evacuate people from 70 flooded properties in one street and from 20 properties in another road.
Scottish Hydro Electric Power Distribution (SHEPD) said 756 homes in the village had been left without power but engineers had reconnected many households by Friday evening.
Around 200 customers were thought to still be without supply.
A company spokesman said a bridge over the Alyth Burn that carried cables was washed away.
Elsewhere in Perthshire, five properties in Bankfoot were evacuated due to flooding, while fire crews also attended reports of flooding in Perth, Blairgowrie, Glen Isla and Coupar Angus.
Richard Brown, head of hydrology at the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (Sepa), urged people to remain vigilant.
He said: “Overnight into Saturday, a further band of rain is due to affect areas of Ayrshire, Argyll and Bute, Glasgow and west central Scotland, with the most intense, prolonged showers expected on Saturday morning.
“Skye and Lochaber are expected to experience significant rainfall totals overnight and throughout Saturday, with over 80mm of rain forecast.
Again, surface water flooding has the potential to cause widespread disruption on road networks and urban areas, while river levels are likely to respond quickly, with some minor disruption possible in rural areas.
“Whilst large waves are expected along the west coast, particularly around the Inner Hebrides, the risk of coastal flooding remains very low.”
