Rural Payments and Services

Farmers affected by severe flooding in parts of Scotland this autumn will be eligible to apply for grants of up to £30,000 to help repair man-made flood banks.

Farmers in local authority areas worst affected by recent flooding will be eligible to apply. These are Moray, Perth and Kinross, Aberdeenshire, City of Aberdeen, Angus and Fife. The scheme will open for applications next month and will be administered by the Scottish Government.

Rural Affairs Secretary Mairi Gougeon will provide details of the new funding whilst addressing delegates at AgriScot, due to take place at the Royal Highland Centre on Wednesday 22 November.
