Yesterday's downpoour is still causing flooding problems around Perthshire
The weekend's downpour has been causing problems still throughout the day around rural areas of Perthshire. River levels throughout Tayside are high and fast flowing but appear to be leveling out and have not been affected by the incoming tide. Tayside Police along with SEPA are continuing to monitor the situation. Roads are slowly re-opening throughout today with the B954 Alyth to Meigle road the latest to re-open within the last few hours. Motorists are being advised to check the SEPA website as well as trafficscotland to check their routes before leaving home.

Two men from the Aberdeenshire area aged 36 and 21, have been charged and will be appearing at Perth Sheriff Court today. These arrests follow the seizure of 125 thousand pounds worth of Heroin last Wednesday on the same road.
