Water had to be pumped from homes in East Lothian this morning after heavy rainfall caused flooding in the area.
Shocking pictures posted online by Dunbar Fire and Rescue show how badly some properties in the East Linton area were affected by the adverse conditions.
Crews from Dunbar and Dalkeith were called to assist at around 10am on Saturday following reports of flood water entering homes.
Teams then worked to pump the water away into a neighbouring field while East Lothian Council cleared the drains to help bring the water levels down.
Dunbar Fire and Rescue posted on social media: "Crews quickly got to work with a low level strainer and lines of hose at one section, and a portable pump at the other and pumped water into a neighbouring field away from the properties. Thanks to the speedy response from East Lothian Council who cleared the drains which helped bring the water level down.
"Crew returned to Dunbar station at around 2pm."
