Flood warnings and alerts have been issued for parts of Scotland - with more rain forecast for much of the country.
The Scottish Environment Protection Agency has issued alerts for Aberdeenshire and Aberdeen city, Tayside and the Western Isles.
A total of three flood alerts and eight flood warnings are currently in place in Scotland.
In the Aberdeen area, some localised disruption from coastal flooding is possible during the high tides overnight on Monday and on Tuesday with some wave overtopping and high water levels possible along parts of the coastline and in particular around Stonehaven.
Scots in these areas have been warned they should brace themselves for some localised flooding of low lying land, roads and some properties.
Stonehaven flood warning
A combination of high tides and prevailing weather conditions means that flooding from the sea is expected to affect low lying land, roads and properties along the coast in Stonehaven in particular.
Wave overtopping and flooding in and around low lying parts of Cowie is possible, in particular Boatie Row.
Flooding impacts are expected around the time of high tide on Tuesday 15th at 01:30 and 13:30 GMT.
Flood alert issued for Western Isles.
In the Western Isles, some localised disruption due to coastal flooding are likely during the high tides on Monday and Tuesday.
In addition, a flood warning has been issued for Ardmore to Loch Carnan, accounting for the prevailing weather forecast, along with very high tides - means that flooding from the sea is expected.
Flooding is possible of low-lying land and roads along the coastline at Ardmore, Lochcarnan and Sandwick, according to Sepa.
Waves may also cause wave and spray impacts.
