Emergency services are searching an area of Monymusk, north east of Aberdeen, following reports of a person swept into the River Don
Emergency services have launched a large-scale search for a person who is believed to have been swept away in a Scots river during severe weather.
Details are still emerging on the incident, which has been reported by locals to involve a Coastguard helicopter,. A spokesperson for the Aberdeen Coastguard confirmed that a "police-led" search was underway in the area. Scotland's east coast has been battered by strong winds and, in some areas, more than a month's worth of rain in a 36-hour period. Aberdeenshire has been particularly affected, with the region subject to an amber Met Office 'danger to life' warning that runs until the end of Friday.
