Firefighters used boats to rescue people from their homes
Emergency crews have been rescuing people from their homes after severe flooding in West Lothian.
The flooding in Broxburn followed heavy rain across parts of Scotland on Thursday.
Firefighters used boats to take people out of flooded houses. Many cars in the town were also stranded up to their roofs in water.
Elsewhere in the central belt, trains were cancelled and roads closed because of flooding.
ScotRail warned that services across the country would be delayed or cancelled due to "extremely heavy rain flooding".
The line through Bridgeton, to the east of Glasgow, was closed for a time but later reopened.
Floodwater also closed some roads in the east end of Glasgow.
Traffic Scotland said the A77 near the A751, Cairnryan, Dumfries and Galloway, had been restricted in both directions due to surface water affecting the carriageway.
