A number of schools have been closed and travel links cancelled as Storm Otto wreaks havoc across Scotland.
The extreme weather is bringing gusts of up to 80mph across the country in the first storm to be named this winter. The storm has been labelled Otto by the Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI) and is expected to bring further disruption to travellers across northern areas of the UK.
The storm moved east across the far north of Scotland in the early hours of Friday morning, bringing gusts in excess of 75mph - which could create a ‘danger to life’ from flying debris. The Met Office warned the high winds would mean travel disruption and possible damage to buildings in places and warned the drivers of high-sided vehicles to be careful.
