MUCH - heralded storms Barbara and Conor took on Mid Argyll over the festive weekend but failed to live up to the dire predictions of forecasters.

Less threatening for Argyll than expected, Barbara nonetheless brought with her heavy rain that caused flooding on many roads. Strong winds caused ferries to be cancelled and trees to fall.
