Washed away: House on brink of collapse after floodwaters gush down hill and turn into a raging river
A house has been ripped apart and is on the verge of being completely washed away after roads in Scotland were turned into rivers by torrential rainfall.
The left side of the building, located by the Dura Den gorge in East Neuk, Fife, collapsed after a fast-flowing torrent of flood water washed away the house foundations.
Five people, including an elderly woman, were trapped in their homes after the river ripped up part of the road in the remote village leaving gaping holes of around '20 feet'.
Forecasters estimated almost half of October's average rain, around 3 inches, fell in some areas of Scotland on Thursday night and throughout Friday.
