Work to clear away the damage will go ahead on Sunday as the weather improves.
A lengthy clean-up is getting under way in flood-hit areas of Scotland, after Storm Babet brought unprecedented damage and disruption.
A number of flood warnings remain in place around Scotland, but more of these are expected to be removed later in the day. A 57-year-old woman died on Thursday after being swept into the Water of Lee, Glen Esk, and a 56-year-old man was killed the same day after a falling tree hit a van near Forfar in Angus.More than half of the staff manning a North Sea drilling platform were airlifted to other sites on Saturday after several of its anchors came loose during the storm.
Residents of nearby Bridge of Dun had to be airlifted via helicopter, while in other areas people stranded by floodwater were rescued by boats, including canoes. “Tragically, the storm has led to lives being lost and I send my sincere condolences to the families affected.
