At least one person has died, train services have been cancelled and more than 100,000 homes have been left without power as winds of over 100mph battered Scotland and the north of England.
A lorry driver was killed in Bathgate, West Lothian, when his vehicle was blown over on top of two cars. The incident occurred at the Boghead roundabout on the A706 at 8.10am. Transport Scotland subsequently issued a red warning advising motorists not to travel on Scotland's roads.
Train travel has been severely disrupted, with Network Rail closing the entire Scottish rail network. First Scotrail has cancelled all services, leaving passengers stranded on trains stopped at stations across the country.
