A new artwork scheme has been developed as part of a multi-million pound flood scheme in Angus.

The River Street community mosaic artwork, five in total, has been installed on a new flood wall which protects Brechin from flooding.

Local artist Maureen Crosbie said: "The mosaics have been a real community project and I have been delighted with the enthusiasm and passion that everyone has shown in producing these wonderful designs.

"It has involved all ages – from 2 to 92-years-old and I am proud to have been part of this legacy and hope that Brechiners will benefit from more than just keeping their feet dry."

The Brechin Flood Prevention Scheme is the single largest civil engineering project in the region.

It will provide one in 200 years' current-day standard of defence and consists of:

• direct defences

• flood embankments

• flood walls

• upgrades to the existing surface water drainage system

• work on the Denburn Culvert

• and installation of three submerged pump stations

The project is due to be completed by summer 2016.
