Strong winds batter Scotland

PARTS of Scotland have been battered by gusts of up to 90mph after torrential rain caused havoc with roads and public events.

The north-west bore the brunt of the high winds, although the central belt, Aberdeen and Dundee saw gusts up to 60mph.

Last night public transport was cancelled in the Western Isles after 6pm and after-school clubs abandoned as a precautionary measure after gusts of 74mph battered South Uist.
