A 'tornado' has been pictured in Scotland as the country is battered by torrential rain and floods.
Some parts of the country were hit with heavy rain and flash floods on Friday and Saturday.
The alleged tornado was pictured between Arbroath and Dundee on Saturday by Matt Storey, who posted his photos on Scotland From the Roadside .
The Met Office has confirmed that the pictures do show a funnel cloud which could have touched the ground.
A funnel cloud must touch the ground for it to be considered a tornado.
A Met Office spokeswoman said: "It’s certainly a funnel cloud.
"For it to be a confirmed tornado the funnel cloud must touch the ground, however as there are some trees in the way we can’t say for certain.
"It does look very close to the ground so it may have briefly touched down as a weak tornado.
"Around 1pm there were some heavy thundery showers in the area which had the potential to produce funnel clouds and tornados".
Yesterday, The Met Office confirmed a tornado had struck the Manchester area and posted data from Manchester Airport which reported a funnel cloud.
There were reports of trees being uprooted but no-one was injured.
There was some bad flooding today in Aberdeen.
Images emerged online of bad flooding on the roundabout near the AECC.

The Met Office has issued the warning due to risk of homes and businesses being flooded, delays or cancellations to public transport and road closures.
