A Scot has shared dramatic footage of the River Spey in the northeast of Scotland flooding after it burst its banks, describing the experience as 'scary' and 'amazing'.
Paramedic Eric Grant, 60, from Dufftown in Banffshire captured the shocking footage from the A941 in between Craigellachie and Rothes on Sunday. The iconic river, which is the ninth longest in the UK, burst its banks following heavy rain across Scotland.
In the video, a fisherman's hut can be seen, with the water reaching its front door. To highlight the extent of the flooding, Mr Grant shared a photo of the hut prior to the Spey bursting its banks — with the building separated from the river by a large stretch of grass under normal circumstances. "Standing on the river bank at the time listening to the noise of the water and seeing the speed at which it was flowing was scary, but then the River Spey is the fastest flowing river in Scotland."
"Wow when you see the height of the water before and that hut and look at it now," one wrote, while a second simply said: "Scary".Another concerned user commented: "Can the hut be moved to bit more higher ground, shame to see it one day get smashed up."
