Coastal areas of Scotland could be completely submerged in water as soon as 2030, according to a map produced by Climate Central. Climate Central, a non-profit organisation that focuses on climate science, reveals the severity of the flood risks through searchable maps. The maps allows you to search areas across Scotland and the rest of the UK, adjusting the years to show the levels of which sea levels are expected to rise.
