Wet start to Tuesday as heavy showers hit Nairn - Broon lagoon back at Sewage Bridge too

The wet weather was keeping pedestrians off the High Street this morning and with the brae closed to traffic there weren't many motorists around too. 


Some drains were coping with the downpour better than others and unfortunately the Sewage Bridge drain covers couldn't cope despite improvements in recent years and the Broon Lagoon reappeared on the riverside paths with a familiar odour in the air. 


A drain cover had come loose at the top of the Links Car Park too and a similar odour hung in the air there. A large pool of water had formed on the Links and if the orienters had been here today they certainly would have needed their wellies. A few more images of a wet walk around town here.

Well done Gurn for being out and about in that torrential rain to keep us informed of all the usual drain covers rising. We would be lost without you for sure. Thanks again.

Nairn would not have these problem drains if Scotland was independent :-)

The smell just before the A96 bridge was atrocious

Could have been the River Nairn, it looked very grey as all the storm drains in town were firing in.

We already have a Scottish government, but nothing gets better, just worse.
