Time-lapse footage shows the River North Esk bursting its banks and turning into a raging torrent as Storm Babet lashed Scotland.

Captured by Farson Digital Watercams in the Angus village of Edzell, the clip shows the river dramatically rising on Thursday evening.

“That’s a genuinely terrifying scene,” one person wrote, commenting on the video.

In the space of 18 hours - from 8:40am on Thursday to 4:10am on Friday 20 October - water levels surge before the webcam disconnects.
