Flood, Dumbarton Quay

Flood, Dumbarton Quay
In September 1605 Chancellor Dunfermline reported to King James VI that inundations of the sea were likely to destroy and take away the whole town [of Dumbarton]. It was estimated that the flood defences would cost 30,000 pounds Scots, the cost being levied nationwide. Quoted from Wikipedia

Are these floods the result of Hurricane Ciara Joe? Our nearby Yorkshire villages of Hebden Bridge and Mytholmroyd have also been devastated AGAIN -despite ongoing expensive flood prevention schemes. Nature always come out on top, in the end.
Keep safe. Herb

Yes, Herb, this is the result of the storm coinciding with high tide. When I was taking this photograph, I was standing next to a bloke who moved here from Todmorden, and we were talking about Hebden Bridge. Cheers, Joe

The fence prevents people from stepping into a flooded area, whichever side they stand on - that's the dramatic point. HFF, Joe!
