Receptor and Consequence
According to Hickey (1997), this event affected many locations along the east coast of Scotland during strong gale-force and predominantly south-easterly winds. In Kirkcaldy, where the tide was highest for “many” years, the esplanade flooded for over 0.5 miles [0.8 km] and many non-residential properties were inundated. Part of the pier was destroyed in Newtonhill, where bus services were also affected.
