Storm Corrie has battered Scotland overnight with winds peaking at 90mph during the period of adverse weather.
Homes were left without power as a result of the storm while commuters can expect disruption on transport services as many Scots return to the office today.
The Met Office said that Scotland was on the receiving end of an “intense” area of low pressure, which formed off the east coast of the US before racing across the Atlantic.
Last night’s storm came less than 24 hours after Scotland and the rest of the UK was hit by Storm Malik, which claimed the lives of three people.
A 60-year-old woman was killed in Aberdeen when a tree fell on her and in Lanarkshire, a 32-year-old lorry driver died when his vehicle crashed through the central barrier on the M74 and collided with a Land Rover Discovery.
It is understood that the lorry was blown over by powerful gales.
A nine-year-old boy died when he was struck by a falling tree in the hamlet of Winnothdale in Staffordshire.
Around 34,000 customers are said to be still without supplies across the north of England and Scotland.
When will Storm Corrie end?
An amber weather warning was in force across the northern half of Scotland until 6am this morning.
A further yellow weather warning has been issued for parts of the Highlands and the north east of Scotland from 6am tomorrow until 6pm the same day.
Gusts are expected to pick up to 65mph in Sutherland, Caithness and Orkney during this 12-hour period. The Met Office has said that the wind speeds will be much less than those experienced during storms Malik and Corrie.
A yellow warning for ice in place for the Highlands and the north east of the country until 10am today.
Forecasters say that wintry showers and falling temperature will allow ice to form on untreated surfaces.
