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.
Record sister site Aberdeen Live reports that emergency services have begun a search in the area of Monymusk, north east of Aberdeen, following reports of a person swept into the River Don. It has been suggested that the person may have been trying to rescue a dog at the time, as reported by Sky News, though these reports are currently unconfirmed, as is their gender or age.
The hunt was launched sometime after 3pm on November 18, with Police Scotland and HM Coastguard involved.
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.
Local councillor Sam Payne said on social media: "Awful news coming out of the area at the moment. Please remember to stay safe, keeping well clear of flood water and only travelling if necessary."

Parts of the county have been issued with 'severe' flood alerts by environment body Sepa, and Aberdeenshire Council has opened refuge centres for residents affected by either standing water or power cuts. Sandbag collection points have also been opened across the region to help residents withstand the brutal conditions.
