Flooding in Newton Stewart

On Monday the 19th of November after heavy overnight rain, the River Cree flooded much of lower Newton Stewart. Here's a few pictures and a video clip.

A wet Saturday in June

No walk for me today, I'm recuperating after the removal of four teeth.

I did get down to the shops though, and equipped with my new camera took some pictures and video.The river was coming over in the usual places after the overnight rain.We haven't had it as bad as some other towns though.

It's amazing how many cameras are produced from pockets and handbags when something out of the ordinary happens.

Not quite the Canadian Flag, but a leafy likeness.

South from the bridge over the A75

To cap the day off, this is my neighbour's feeder. I never noticed the background as I took it, but I'm dead chuffed with the result. 

Be glad when I get my new teeth.

Water Water Everywhere (The River Cree in Spate)

After a prolonged cold snowy spell in South West Scotland in the winter of 2009/2010 the thaw came.The result was a rise in river levels.This was the River Cree in that thaw.Apologies for the up and down sound quality.

The Cree

Remember these tranquil pictures of the Cree back in May-June.

Not a lot of water then.

The fish would struggle to get far up the river then.


This was the headline in this weeks Galloway Gazette.

Floody hell!
Published Date: 09 October 2008
HEAVY rainfall and rising river levels caused chaos in Galloway during the week as homes were flooded, roads closed and cars abandoned.

I took the following pictures and video,all in Newton Stewart,this afternoon the 10th of October 2008.
One gentleman i spoke to tells me it's been higher.







The good thing about Vimeo video on the blog,is it can be viewed full screen.
