FOOTAGE shared on social media has shown the moment several caravans were swept away by flooding.
It comes as Scotland continues to recover from extreme rainfall over the weekend with some areas of the country still at risk from flooding.
It’s understood the footage is of Stratheck Holiday Park in Dunoon. It shows three caravans being swept away by the water.
A number of people commented with one describing the footage as “frightening” and another saying they hoped that nobody had been “seriously hurt”.
A third person meanwhile said they had a property in the park and that they were lucky it “didn’t end up in the water”.
In a post on its Facebook page yesterday morning, the holiday park’s general manager provided an update.
The caption read: “Stratheck and Loch Eck Country Lodges are now completely off-limits to anyone other than select team members who are trying to assess the damage.
“We appreciate that some may be tempted to come and see the effects of the weather on the park and speak to the park team – but please ensure that you do not make this journey.
“The phone line, electricity and water have temporarily been disconnected from the park and caravans/lodges are being pulled back from the water’s edge where possibly.
“The team have been working through the night and day to ensure the safety of everyone at the park. Due to this recent development with power being turned off, it means that people will be unable to contact the park directly.

“We will have another update tomorrow morning, please keep watching this space. Affected owners will be contacted directly.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
