Few weather events have caused more devastation in recent years than the freak floods that hit Glasgow in December 1994.
Between December 10 and 12, 1994, Glasgow received more rain than it normally would for the entire month.
A total of 600 people were made homeless across Glasgow and much of west central Scotland in what was the most severe flooding event in living memory.

Two teenage boys tragically lost their lives when their car was swept off a bridge over the swollen River Kelvin, while a third person was sadly reported dead after being swept away by the River Nith at Dumfries.
Weather forecasters said some areas were under six feet of water, while overflowing blocked sewers added to the chaos.
Transport was ground to a halt, with scores of roads closed in Glasgow and elsewhere as the then Strathclyde region recorded its highest ever rainfall and the River Clyde reached its highest level in 150 years.
The floods wreaked havoc across the city's rail network, with seven suburban stations on the Argyle line closed for several weeks.

Few stations, however, were worse-hit than Glasgow Central Low Level.
Hit by a fast-flowing surge when the River Kelvin burst its banks, the enclosed station was almost completely submerged with the water reaching near to the top of carriages.
The station remained closed for nine months, while the clean-up operation got underway, with services re-routed in the interim.
A series of images were taken showing the devastated station after the floodwater had subsided. They reveal the aftermath of the flooding, and show the platforms covered in fine silt with a high water mark visible on the exterior of carriages.
The pictures also show that the water was at its deepest at the Argyle Street pedestrian exit and shallower westbound towards Anderston Station. This is down to the fact the track has a subtle gradient, which is usually imperceptible to commuters standing on the platform.
The flooding of the low level line was caused due to the River Kelvin bursting its banks at Kelvin Park. A raging torrent surged down the abandoned Gibson Street Tunnel and towards the Glasgow Central Low Level railway via the Argyle line.
The incident was recalled on the Hidden Glasgow website, and told how rail travellers narrowly avoided disaster.
The recollection reads: "With trains still running and no alarms in place to alert the Signalling staff of the impending deluge, a potential catastrophe was narrowly averted by fate and good luck as there was a train heading Eastbound as the torrent raged onward.
"Luckily there were no casualties, but the damage to the Low Level meant services would not run for many months."

The cost of the clean-up operation caused by the December 1994 floods was estimated at more than £100 million. European Union aid of £400,000 was sent to the Strathclyde region to assist with recovery.
It was revealed that four-and-a-half inches of rain had fallen that weekend at Glasgow Airport - the most since record keeping began in 1888.
