A Scottish couple have been forced into temporary accommodation after being hit by devastating floods.
A massive clear-up operation has been put in place since the worst flooding in 40 years wrecked a row of houses in Barrasgate in Dumfries and Galloway on Friday night, December 30.
Malcolm and Eileen Coupe, both 74, were left with nothing 'but the clothes on their back'. Their daughter Gillian, 52, spoke of her sadness that the couple will "need to start again at their age", The Daily Record reports.
