Trains halted and rain seeps into new shopping centre amid Edinburgh flooding

Flash flooding in Edinburgh caused disruption to transport across the city, as trains in and out of Scotland's capital were suspended over the weekend.

Social media users also uploaded videos of roads that appear to be completely submerged, with emergency services responding to vehicles caught in floodwater.

A clean-up operation is now under way in Edinburgh following the flash floods.
