A nursery owner has spoken about wading through flood water to get children to safety as she pleaded with councillors to take urgent action on flood prevention.
The Edinburgh village of Kirkliston was left devastated after the River Almond burst its banks at the end of December leaving some people trapped in their homes and most roads out of the village blocked off.
A local councillor said there was "water almost as far as the eye could see" adding: "I have never seen anything like it".
