Floods and winds saw Stirling and much of Scotland battered as it said goodbye to 2024 amid weather warnings.
December 31 turned into a mop up operation after reports of trees being blown down and some routes flooded.
In Kippen a tree came crashing down in Burnside just above Cameron Crescent.
Lochard Road at Aberfoyle – a flooding hotspot – was closed.
Rising water levels prompted the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) to maintain a flood warning for Lochard Road for much of Tuesday and the village post office was closed for part of the day.
Aberfoyle and Buchlyvie Medical Centre announced that their car park and path to their front door was flooded and asked Hogmanay patients to use their side door.
And adventure park Go Ape Aberfoyle decided to close for the day due to the flooding in and around the village.
MSP Evelyn Tweed urged local people to be aware, posting on social media: “Please take care if travelling, reports of trees down and flooding on some routes.”
Other areas hit included the A84 between Lix Toll and Kilmahog, which was flooded at various points, with the worst section around said to be around Leny Falls which was only passable with care.
Closer to the city, Alloa Road (A907) was flooded on both sides of the road at Manor Powis.
And on the M9 surface water hampered driving between Bannockburn and Craigforth.
Almost all routes across the Stirling area, however, experienced issues with surface water to some degree, with drivers being warned to drive carefully and take more time for their journeys.
A yellow weather warning for rain and snow for the entirety of the Stirling area was left in place until the Bells and a similar warning for wind was in place for the southernmost parts of Stirling including Carron Valley and Fintry until late on Hogmanay.
While most buses were not believed to be impacted by the weather, passengers were being advised to check ahead before travelling. There was already a streamlined timetable in place for the holiday and no buses running on the first two days of 2025.
Stirling Council had said its officers “closely monitored conditions 24/7” and had teams on hand.
Police Scotland Forth Valley said: “Flooding can happen at any time of the year in Scotland so it’s best to be prepared.
“Don’t watch flooding unfold at the coast or inland – get yourself to an area of safety. Avoid walking or driving through flood water – six inches of fast-flowing water can knock over an adult and two feet of water can move a car.”
