Heavy rain and high winds have battered much of Scotland causing major disruption to transport links across the country.
The Met Office issued a yellow weather warning for rain and wind from 4am to 6pm on Saturday with delays on road and railways expected.
The Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) has issued 29 flood warnings and 16 flood alerts as a result of the difficult weather conditions.
These alerts cover most of Dumfries and Galloway, the Scottish Borders, Tayside and Central Scotland.
Passengers were left stranded in Aviemore and Falkirk as flood water has been causing chaos on railway lines between Kingussie and Aviemore in the Highlands, as well as Croy and Larbert.
ScotRail officials closed off the tracks while Network Rail staff work around the clock dealing with the increase in rain water.
Pictures from the scene show rainwater engulfing the rail lines below.
A tweet put out by ScotRail read: “Here’s an image showing extreme flooding from staff at Network Rail.
“Water levels are too high to allow us to operate our trains safely as heavy rain continues to fall in this area.”
Meanwhile, members of the public have been urged to avoid the Whitesands area of Dumfries after the River Nith burst its banks.
Dumfries and Galloway police posted images of Whitesands covered with water spilling onto a car park near a section of the river.
A number of SPFL fixtures have also been postponed due to the downpours.
Alloa v Arbroath, Inverness Caley Thistle v Queen of the South, Dumbarton v Clyde, Stranraer v Montrose, Cowdenbeath v Albion Rovers and Stirling Albion v Cove Rangers all fell foul of the weather.
The yellow weather warning is in place until 6pm tonight with Sunday's forecast looking to be more settled.
