This video shows the High Street in Stonehaven, the morning after the flooding started on Sunday 2nd November 2009.

This is after the water levels had reduced quite considerably

Many people had to be rescued from their homes and many would have to find temporary accommodation while repairs are carried out in their homes

Some residents even lost their cars.

The Stonehaven community rallied round to support those in need,

Local churches got together to provide soup and snacks for those affected and this was much appreciated by local residents and businesses

Although much devastation was caused in the town, many of the businesses worked hard to get trading again and many shops opened again within two weeks.

A strong Community spirit has ensured that Stonehaven is very much open for business.
