Storm Frank: Communities still ‘deeply traumatised’ by 2015 floods © PA Archive/Press Association Ima A car left abandoned in flood water during Storm Frank. It’s five years since Storm Frank ripped through Scotland, wreaking a trail of destruction across the country. Gayle Ritchie looks back at one of the worst weather events in recent history. Storm Frank swept through Scotland on December 30 2015, bringing flooding that devastated homes and businesses. Worst-hit towns and villages included Ballater and Inverurie in Aberdeenshire and parts of Perthshire and Angus. Static caravans at Ballater Caravan Park were seen floating down the raging River Dee as flood waters tore through the site and left it looking like a “war zone”.

Workers clearing the River Dee at Abergeldie Castle The Baron of Abergeldie, John Gordon, and his wife sought refuge at a neighbour’s house after a 500-yard stretch of embankment next to the castle was swallowed up by the swollen Dee. Tonnes of rock were placed on the wrecked riverbank in an attempt to save the A-listed tower from destruction. ‘The knock-on effect can still be felt’ Reverend Canon Vittoria Hancock was at the heart of the action when Storm Frank hit Ballater. “The village had had almost continuous rain for three months, plus snow melt, plus Storm Frank,” she said.
