Pupils evacuated as river floods

A school in the Highlands has been evacuated after a river burst its banks and as flooding hit much of Scotland.

Northern Constabulary said pupils have been sent home from Kingussie High School because of the risk posed by the River Gynack.

Police said surface water is also affecting roads across Badenoch and Strathspey and Lochaber.

THE A82 at Letterfinlay, between Fort Augustus and Spean Bridge, has been closed due to a landslide.
