- Dumfries and Galloway has seen some of its “worst flooding for a number of years” after the River Nith burst its banks.
Dramatic drone footage shows the scale of flooding in the town of Dumfries after southern Scotland was hit by heavy rainfall.
The local authority said it issued more than 1400 sandbags across the region and teams are working overnight to fill more for Friday.
Dumfries and Galloway Local Resilience Partnership said it has been responding to adverse weather across the region for the last 24 hours.
Chief inspector Stuart Davidson, Police Scotland, said “This has been a monumental effort from everyone involved, as we’ve seen some of the worst flooding in our region for a number of years.
“The picture continued to change rapidly throughout the day, but all partners were able to make decisions and mobilise their efforts to make sure that we provided support where it was needed and kept individuals safe.”
Traffic Scotland said earlier it had reports of flooding on the M74/A74(M) around Abington in South Lanarkshire and on the A75 near Barlae in Dumfries and Galloway.
Davidson added: “I’d like to thank the public for their continued co-operation in following the warnings and travelling with care on our roads."

“worst flooding for a number of years” ... we are pretty much saying this every year at this point.
They are changing the goal posts to define "worst un a number of years"
common sense might tell you it's getting worse
@@Ray-uk3um Oh really?
So what are the numbers then.........I'll wait.
@@TheCrappyRobot lack of investing in dredging in the waterways, the farmers always done the dredging but they were not getting paid and stopped dredging. Surprise surprise another failure.
They tell us to buy electric cars when we should be buying a boat.
😂😅😂🤣very true they would cost a fortune and be wiped out with the first winter flooding
@Anglo Patriot Very well said indeed
@@eleanorcrawford9978 So very true ⭐
@Anglo Patriot
Yes indeed not nice at all
All this is under the umbrella ☂️ of
*Weather modification *Or *Solar radiation management *
*Geoengineering *
👏👏👏👏👏👏
It's flooded there for the last 100 years, every year it floods
18 months of the public sector doing f all, gets you this.
Well said rivers not dredged will cause this, rivers must be cleaned out regularly but not in the SNPs book so we add floods to our troubles.more to come the damage done has yet to filter through even more.
Yup it's called Autumn in the UK. Nothing new here
It’s surprising how ignorant people are of the causes they only take a real interest when it happens to them, lack of investment in the waterways has a big part to play in flooding so try not to be to smug at other people’s misfortunes.
@@eleanorcrawford9978 why, you going to try to silence me? I'm very aware of our old water ways and lack of upkeep. You've obviously missed my sarcastic point, I was taking the mick out of the media's pushing of climate change. Like the media pushing there social distancing propaganda the other day by telling us that bees show evidence of distancing when a swarm has disease.
It's surprising that people are also ignorant to what the media are pushing. Nowhere in my statement makes a personal commitment to someone's misfortune. Maybe stop being so sensitive like everyone else these days. It's called free speech. And I won't be silenced by sensitive people
If they cleaned out the grids in the roads instead of leaving the leafs that have just fallen off the trees maybe the water will disappear quickly
I totally agree. I can’t remember when I last saw any drain maintenance in my area……the masks dropped by the lazy Covid warriors don’t help either.
The same happened in Oxford in 2007 flooded due to no gully clearing, blocked solid with leaves, but I’m sure the council would deny that,
Do you really think drains can handle that much rainfall in such a short time?
Of course they would cope……it’s like trying to empty your bath with a flannel over the plug when they are blocked and never maintained.
@@janicebarthram6759 I actually don't use disposable masks because they're terrible for the environment and ,as you said, leads to brains being blocked as well.
Except the whole town isn't shown submerged is it - you cannot believe a thing the sun says clearly
Yeah if they say the sun will rise tomorrow morning I'm buying a torch
In the 80's we called it the Daily Scandal for this reason. I guess somethings just don't change!!!
💯 %. They just can’t help making up headlines even when the evidence is right before everyone. No wonder we have so many sheep following government blindly whatever they say in the last 24 months - their probably all Sun readers.
No, you're right. The river Nith has flooded Dumfries many times in my lifetime but it has never to my knowledge flooded the whole town.
And you can quite clearly see dry areas. Dumfries is a very extensive
town so it would be debatable whether the water could cover it.
@@user67883 if the whole town was submerged then all those buildings you see would need to be under water.
It's surprising how surprised people seem to be at rain in the UK.

@Gramsci279 Hegemony building on flood plains gets council back handlers to hell with the people that’s the SNP mantra al feeding round the trough of Holyrood.
Sturgeon spent none of the cash she gets here, i see.
“Whole town submerged” … even though the video clearly shows it ain’t 🤦🏻♂️
Let’s face it after the last 24 months of manipulation by the media; it seems the Sun thinks it can say one thing, you can watch something that shows something completely different, yet still believe the headlines.
Send the members of insulate Britain there,glue em together and make a Dam.
They should have let the Romans invade after all. At least the roads and irrigation would have been spot on.
Dear Sun: Stick to your bylines on the page 3 girls. Because from that video I’d say MOST of Dumfries ISN’T under water.
The White Sands area of Dumfries shown here gets flooded when the River Nith is in spate.

A job well done imho !!!
Very sad folks indeed
Never buy a house on a flood plain. There is a clue there.
Mother Nature strikes on more than flood plains don’t be so smug you never know what’s round the corner.
@@eleanorcrawford9978 you certainly don’t !
@@eleanorcrawford9978 I'm sorry you bought a house on a flood plain, all I am doing is giving advice.
@@eleanorcrawford9978 tell us the last time a river flooded the high ground.
Send in Thunberg 2
What happened to all the taxes collected for upkeep of the area. Didn't they have drainage system in place?
Ask Nicola Sturgeon she took all the tax payers money and it has dissapeared.
Everyone in Dumfries and Galloway should know Sturgeon is so so glad all the dingy divers are safely landed in England, oh and she said she will send you round a few buckets to get dumfries galloway bailed out !!
Those dingy divers are living in Scotland’s hotels they come up regular by coach.
Lack of Storm Drains all over the streets in the UK.
The way things are going ,itl be best to live in a motorhome, campervan /rv, or what about not living so close to rivers, streams and coasts perhaps ?
This is a great video,I learn alots watching your videos and it’s helpful to me, investing money is quite difficult to me but all thanks to Rosie investment she helped me alots
as a bigginer I couldn’t bear the risk of self trading so I saw comments about Rosie investment I gave her a try honestly I got 95% profits from my investment.
I have tried lots of traders but non is as genuine as Rosie investment, though I was skeptical but still gave her a try of $500 and got a profit worth $5,000 in 5days I’m so grateful🙏
Trading with an expert is the best strategy for newbies and busy investors who have little or no time to monitor trade.
Yeah you are right
I traded with Rosie and I gain $27,000 in one week I thought it’s not gonna happened but she helped me alots
My goodness!!
What's happening in the great nation nowadays ???
Probably the greatest country in the world.
Stay strong folks🇬🇧
If you like rain, it might be..lol
We've seen better days 😂
Maybe 40 years ago , was great !
Greatest country 😂😂
Greatest shambles lead by a succession of great clowns.
@@jamesperrie1393 we stopped being the greatest country when we lost the empire :(
My heart goes out to the people of Dumfries another SNP failure to spend on important infrastructure in Scotland more to come sadly. I guess this is Maggies fault too, may she rest in peace.
Yes, because the SNP called on the rain the last few days, are you really that stupid.
And lets hope the witch Maggie is writhing in agony for eternity, it's the least she deserves.
@Anglo Patriot “hopefully if they leave the EU” mate i think you have about 5 years of news to catch up on. No spoilers though
@Anglo Patriot also there is nothing 3rd world about Scotland. Its a great place to live with the only major downsides being floods like these. A lot of countries would love to only have to deal with floods and not hurricanes/tsunamis/earthquakes
@Anglo Patriot is that right? I dont see us going away anytime soon
@Anglo Patriot immigrant x scottish person = scottish person. Immigrant x immigrant in scotland = scottish person. Scottish person x scottish person = scottish person. I can infer you are saying that the immigrants arent really scottish people or whatever but cultures changes over time, we dont live in celtic clan war anymore. As long as they arent burning down scottish museums, i have no complaints
Payback for Galloway Forest Park (Dark Sky Park) - industrial forestry at its worst lol
that sounds scary A FLOOD DRONE it is a bloody drone
Where's their irrigation?
Those poor folk. I know what it feels like, we were flooded two years ago at around this same time.
It’s a miserable thing to happen to anyone can’t see Sturgeon rushing to the rescue.
And today while this was happening over 100 police riot vans manage to make their way up the M74 to the COP26 meet
Can’t get a copper for love nor money in Scotland unless you are within a mile of The Hydro. 😂😂
@@jamesperrie1393 Either that or make an off colour joke about a man dressed as a woman and the police will be knocking at your door soon enough.
@@schrodingerscat1863 when will my fellow Scots realise the SNP has no interest in Scotland.
I'm amazed there are so many fools who don't know how to build their homes further from the river.
every country , then they blame on stupid climate crisis
I live in a bungalow very near the Thames. We never get flooded. Why? The bungalow is built on piers 5 feet above the ground. Simples!!!
@@johnday6392 many houses were built years ago and the waterways were important back then, now it’s all changed and houses near the water is not a good idea because the rivers never get dredged any more because the councils won’t pay the farmers to do it and the farmers stopped dredging
If you want to live right by the river........you face the consequences, which always comes
🙏 Bless the civilians 🙏
Was this the SNP caught with their pants down again or was it Thatchers fault? Westminster’s off the hook!
I take it that "Greater Dumfries" the area around Dumfries was unaffected....I feel for the people next to the banks of the river but...come on The Sun your reporting is going down the Daily Mail route..oooh great invisible being in the sky help us all
These roads next to the river flood pretty much every year and have done for decades. SNP doesn't want to spend the money on flood barriers so there you have it, another flood.
Submerged??? Hahahaha Who writes these headlines?! Absolute clown, whoever it is.
Downvoted.
I care about you. I love the United Kingdom.
I think I am gonna buy and rent out dehumidifiers 👍
That’s no worse than we get in York several times a year
Mankind thou art not God. But mortal man. This is what this proves.

Imagine being one of those people whos homes and livelyhoods ruined after oppressive restrictions for the best part of 2 years, I'd be making the lives of those responsible a living hell until the day I drop dead
Whole town submerged 😂😂 Surprised this still makes the news, this has gone on for so many years in Dumfries (I remember it flooding as a child & I’m 46 now, so a loooooong time) & nothing ever gets done about it 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Never mind the water, what about Prince Perv?Why is he being kept out of the papers?
He´s above the Law.
When you reach 100, you get a telegram from the Queen.
When you turn 13, you get a text from Prince Andrew.

Nope Don't think it's Mother Nature Try
*Solar radiation management * or ,,* Weather modification *😀
Lol it's an education !!!
And just when the world leaders happen to be in scotland.
.... An amazing coincidence...
Nothing to see here
Only the rats and rubbish in Glasgow it’s a disgrace went there last Sunday to see for myself if the people of Glasgow are content with being treated like second class citizens they deserve all she will give them which is nothing it’s awful seeing Glasgow in that state.
So going back in time and up to the Present Day. People were and are THICK build in or on Flood plains.
It takes a Special kind of Skill to keep making the same mistakes.
As we all Do.
🇮🇪🇪🇺
Must be soul destroying. Ages to dry out and constant worry of it happening again. It's only October
October is usually our wettest month up here comes down like a shower.
They say the British love the water but not this much water
I feel for all affected people of Dumfries and Galloway region.
Region you mean the river front, hardly call it a region.
You will experience worse flooding as never before
Sturgeon will blame it on Boris and the pandemic 🤷♂️
Or poor Maggie who passed away years ago and is many politicians go to to blame.
This is what happens when you fail to dredge rivers, and allow silt into the water system from all the rotting Autumn leaves that L.A.s no longer bother to sweep up!
Precisely - makes you wonder if it's not being done on purpose,......
Politics should begin with the drains.
@@kerryburns6041 well said the farmers don’t get paid for the dredging so they stopped doing it.SNP took the councils tax money our money and redirected it to the SNP now it’s missing and people are paying the price of the SNPs dirty dealings.
@@eleanorcrawford9978 The UK is being asset-stripped, prior to becoming a market dependent on American GM food imports.
Halliburton will repair the infrastructure, like it did in Iraq.
Scotland needs to save itself.
This happens every year in dumfries, its such a long-term issue that insurance companies won't insure businesses on the river front , I remember this happening as far back as the 90s
It’s also been known to this government that the rivers need dredging the SNP couldn’t give a fig for what is best in Scotland and what affects the people she was too interested in the EU to invest in the waterways of Scotland, Where’s The tax Payers Money Nicola???????
Bad weather at this time of year.......I DON'T BELIIIIIIEVE IT
This is Scotland (10 out of 10 for observation) ah well we all have are problems.....Just don't 'Cop' out on those who have nothing........
What this actually shows is a field on a flood plane, flooded as you would expect and one street next to the river under water, a street that apparently floods regularly. More yellow journalism by the Sun.
Boris will probably call for a hosepipe ban.
Hopefully mother nature will wash away this STD we call life..

It rained a lot in the lakes..... shock
Heavy rains (get a grip) planning departments need to be held accountable for there corrupt practices that lead to scenes like this
Why is it always places I've never been... I've been to so many place in the UK but anytime we flood like this its always somewhere I've not been lmfao wish I could be there lol be fun..
You've been flogging the same story since i was a kid.
Wet, perhaps, but not quite submerged
Insurance companies won’t be happy again 😩
You can’t get flood insurance for the riverfront last I heard, because it happens all the time.

Amazing 👏🙀😮
Flood defence scheme ?
SNP don’t do them it would protect Scottish homes SNP don’t do that either she would rather protect EU;homes. No time or interest in Scotland’s needs. She won’t even protect our hospitals or our fishermen, she is helping Macron at the moment the traitor.
Nepal: First time?
river side flooding like this has happened every year on rivers world wide for millenia, nothing new here.
There were discussions about dredging the river to increase water flow a few years back but as usual these came to nothing due to predicted costs among other issues.
Blessed are the cheese makers
The problem is government always have money for the wars ,but not to solve real isuues
is this the new normal now until world wide droughts kick in?
I was going to invest in property there.
Hang on I thought 💭 the Conservatives and David Cameron sorted all this a few years ago lol. 😂🤑
So sad

There isn’t even any sandbags do we have a shortage of sand? You would have seen better disaster planning and response 50yrs ago
But what would be the point when we have built on all of our flood plains nearly

For anyone reading his comment, ignore it. He's a bot.
I'm pretty sure that England will be blamed for this flood by crankie..... 🤷♀️🤦♂️
Not by the Scottish people we know where the fault lies with the useless lying SNP who care nothing for Scotland.
Brexit strikes again.
SNP fails again
🤣🤣🤣
