Introduction - Ballater Flooding 30 December 2015

I arrived at my mum and stepdads home in Ballater on Christmas eve (24 Dec 2015) like I have done for the past few years since they moved to Ballater, Aberdeenshire from Fleet, Hampshire.

Unlike previous years, Christmas 2015 turned out to be a devastating time for many residents in Ballater and the aim of this blog is to give a timeline of the events of the flood on 30th December from my personal perspective by using images and video taken on that day.
