Community Councillor Greg Cathcart described the "hellish" scenes of Saturday night.

"It happened that quick. Within the next 15-20 minutes it had been swept through as far as the centre of the village. Places that had ever seen water before, it just totally overwhelmed them," he said.

He said it there was a "real danger to life" and that the village's resilience team and fire crews "saved a lot of lives".

"Honestly it was biblical the amount of water that came through here… tragic," he added.

Another resident, Samuel Cropper, told the BBC that as he arrived home from work he could see rising water approaching his house in Newcastleton.

He quickly moved things off the ground and packed a bag for his 10-week-old baby before spending the night at a friend's place.

He said "luckily" his house "only" had 2-3 inches of water on the ground.

Mr Cropper added: "It's bad enough, it still got onto furniture and stuff but it wasn't two or three feet."
