Grants of up to £30k for Scottish farmers hit by severe flooding

Scottish farmers who were impacted by severe flooding this autumn will be able to apply for grants of up to £30,000 to help repair man-made flood banks.

Farmers in Scotland's local authority areas worst affected by recent flooding will be eligible to apply, the Scottish government has said today.

Regions that were most impacted by flooding include Moray, Perth and Kinross, Aberdeenshire, City of Aberdeen, Angus and Fife.

The scheme will open for applications next month and will be administered by the Scottish government.
