The extensive floods of August 1829 represent without doubt the most severe floods in Scotland over the last 200 years. All the rivers in the Grampians, from the Nairn to the South Esk at Montrose rose to exceptional levels in response to a severe frontal storm. The discharges were enormous and can be judged from line drawings after the event. The Findhorn at Randolph's Leap reached 1450 cumecs, the Spey at Boat o'Brig 1665 cumecs and the Dee at Cairnton 1900 cumecs. Each discharge may represent the level of flood expected only once every 500-1000 yr on average, 8vo 8" - 9" tall, vi + xix [1] + 431 pp. GBP 225.00 [Appr.: EURO 249.75 US$ 373.73 | JP¥ 33017] Book number: 6644 Click here to order or inquire at Double - B - Books Ltd.. | ||
