Police Urge: Don’t Travel Unless Vital
Police Scotland warns against non-essential travel. Fewer cars on the road means safer conditions and quicker emergency access. Many roads will be flooded but not marked closed – do NOT attempt to drive through floodwaters.
More Hazards Expected

- Fallen trees likely to cause further danger
Brechin is home to around 7,230 residents (2020 census), now facing a potentially devastating flood emergency. Stay safe and follow official advice.
