River Annan in flood, Halleaths
Image: © Lynne Kirton Taken: 26 Oct 2008
The Annan burst its banks after prolonged heavy rain and gale force winds. The normal river channel is on the right of the picture. At some point the water level must have been even higher, since water is flowing back into the river from the flooded field on the left, which is at a higher level than the river itself.
