Flooding closes rail line in the Highlands
This comes amid a yellow weather warning for rain and snow.
The Highland mainline has been shut as flooding hits the North of Scotland in the lead up to Hogmanay.
The rail line has been closed at Kingussie, with video footage showing how rising river levels are causing concern.
ScotRail say services between Inverness and Edinburgh/Glasgow Queen Street will be cancelled, delayed or revised.
They have outlined those travelling between Perth and Inverness will be serviced by alternative road transport.
This comes amid a Met Office yellow weather warning for rain and snow, which covers the majority of Scotland.
Yesterday, John Swinney warned the public to stay safe amid high winds, rainfall and snow during the remainder of the festive season.
The First Minister asked Scots to take advice from the the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (Sepa) and the Met Office following weather warnings for Monday to Thursday.
Sepa has urged people in the North West and Central Highlands to "be prepared, be aware" as flooding is expected in the run-up to Hogmanay.
On X, Mr Swinney said: "There are weather warnings issued for Monday and for Hogmanay. Please follow all of the advice available and stay safe."
Heavy and persistent rain is forecast for Monday and Tuesday in Scotland, following an already wet Sunday - with Sepa putting nine flood alerts and one flood warning in place as of 7.30pm on Sunday.
The organisation says it is monitoring the situation 24/7 and is working with partner agencies.
Pascal Lardet, Sepa flood duty manager, said: "Some very high river levels are forecast for Monday and Tuesday, in particular, the Spey and other rivers in the Great Glen and Easter Ross area. Levels on the River Tay and other rivers across the Central Highlands will also be high.
"We're likely to see river and surface water flooding impacts across these areas, resulting in disruptions to transport and to communities.
"Flooding of property, infrastructure, roads and the rail network are all possible. We urge everyone to be prepared and be aware.
"If you live or work in the affected areas, or are planning to visit, think about any steps you need to take now to be prepared for flooding impacts - and consider whether your journey is necessary."
