At least ten people have been airlifted to safety following multiple landslides in Scotland due to extreme rainfall.
Aerial footage has been shared on social media showing soil and sludge scattered across the A83 between Tarbet and Lochgilphead.
Several vehicles were stuck as a result of the landslides.
Police have thankfully reported that no injuries have been reported thus far.
Amber and yellow weather alerts have been in place across large parts of Scotland and will last until Sunday morning with a month's rain expecting to fall in a single day.
Officers are urging drivers in Bute and Argyll not to travel at all, while rail services have also been cancelled.

Ruth Ellis, flood duty manager for the Scottish Environment Protection Agency, said: "We're likely to see extensive river and surface water flooding impacts across those areas. Danger to life, widespread property flooding, flooding of roads and disruption to infrastructure is possible."
