 Emergency planners have been assessing the clean-up |
Thousands of customers who had been without power in Aberdeenshire, the Highlands and Moray after last week's storms have all now been reconnected. It comes as communities clean up the damage caused by torrential rain and floods on Thursday and Friday.
A spokesman for Scottish Hydro Electric said that the last 1,000 households without power had their supplies restored by the end of Saturday.
Extra engineers drafted in to assist with the work have been stood down.
Initially about 50,000 customers suffered blackouts, with the problem reduced to small pockets across Aberdeenshire, the Highlands and Moray.
The heavy downfall also caused flooding and disruption in areas of the Northern Isles, including Kirkwall.
