Dangerously strong winds are set strike parts of the UK, according to forecasters, with heavy snow also expected to arrive within days.
A Met Office yellow weather warning is in place today and tomorrow for northern Scotland as a deep area of low pressure is forecast to bring gales of 60mph and "perhaps 70 to 80 mph" across coastal areas.
People in affected areas are advised that delays to road, rail, air and ferry transport are "likely", while some short term loss of power and other services may also occur.
