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.
Aye, it wiz scummindooninbuckets!
ReplyDeleteWell 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.
ReplyDeleteNairn would not have these problem drains if Scotland was independent :-)
ReplyDeleteThe smell just before the A96 bridge was atrocious
ReplyDeleteCould have been the River Nairn, it looked very grey as all the storm drains in town were firing in.

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