Description There are several possible subdivisions of Scotland to choose from: pre-1890 counties, 1890-1975 counties, 1975-1996 regions and districts, 1996 council areas, Scottish Parliament constituencies, et al. I have chosen the 1890 counties because a) the pre-1890 counties had exclaves, b) the 1975 region and districts are too big, c) the 1996 council areas and the Scottish Parliament constituencies have a wide disparity in sizes and using them would have distorted the situation. The 1890 counties are still understood, used by the BBC, almost identical to the registration counties and mapping the flood damage onto these borders produces a result that's close to the truth. The 1890 counties affected by flooding on/by July 24th 2007 are Ayrshire (Kilmarnock and Newmilns), Dumfriesshire (various), Lanarkshire (Glasgow and areas south), Peebles, Midlothian (Edinburgh), Moray (Rothes to Aberlour) and Ross&Cromarty (Strathcarron and Achnasheen). Every effort has been made to reduce error, and I apologise for any errors/omissions. Some areas with only minor damage have been omitted. To forestall criticism, citations for each and every one of these areas can be found on http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2007_United_Kingdom_floods&oldid=148443176 under "Affected areas in Scotland".
