With all those road gulleys draining hundreds of cubic metres of rainwater gathered in roads, it does have to flow somewhere and it somehow just doesn't magically disappear after entering a road gulley. Just think how many roads there are in Nairn, so how much rainwater is gathered from roads.

If SEPA test the beach at this time, it will surely fail its blue flag.
