Flood warnings are in place across Scotland today following heavy rain.
Showers are affecting much of the country, with the most persistent downpours forecast over south-west Scotland and the southern Highlands from Argyll to Angus.
Motorists are advised to beware of surface water affecting road conditions, and the A83 Glenbarr to Campbeltown road and a section of the A77-B7044 Ballantrae to Cairnryan routes are shut.
The Scottish Environment Protection Agency (Sepa) currently has 10 alerts and 18 flood warnings in place, mainly in the Tayside area.
Police and the fire service have reported no major incidents as a result of the weather.
Transport Minister Keith Brown said last night: "The heavy rain may lead to some disruption on local roads and to ferry services over the next couple of days, especially at peak times.
"With the conditions we can also expect to see flooding in some areas and road users should be prepared before they set off on their journeys. While we will do everything we can to mitigate the impacts of the conditions, people travelling should be prepared and plan their journeys accordingly."
