A football pitch has been left underwater after severe flooding wreaked havoc in the north of Scotland.
Ian Mair Park, the home of Dyce FC near Aberdeen, was left flooded beyond recognition after heavy rainfall overwhelmed much of the region on Friday. The stadium is situated near the River Don, which burst its banks over the weekend leaving the pitch submerged in water.
As reported by Aberdeen Live, footage shared on social media showed the ground flooded in muddy water. A major clean-up operation is now expected to take place get ground back to a playable condition, with Dyce, who play in the North of Scotland Superleague, due to face Bridge of Don Thistle at their home on Friday, November 25.
A spokesperson for the club said: "Just been out at Ian Mair Park and it's just a crying shame to see the facility under so much water. There's likely to be a substantial clear-up operation once the flood water clears, but we will get things back and playable as soon as we can."
Torrential downpours brought chaos to north-east communities, with many streets flooded and traffic brought to a standstill over the weekend. In a severe flood warning, the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) urged people to 'remain vigilant.'
Meanwhile a woman was swept into the River Don at Monymusk in Aberdeenshire with a candlelight vigil held last night in the hope she will be found.
The woman in his 60s, named locally as Hazel Nairn, was reported to have been out walking her Westie named Rory when she got into difficulty in the water amid horror weather conditions at around 3.05pm on Friday.
