Roads and bridges have been closed across Scotland as 100mph winds batter the country. Police have confirmed that there have been several collisions due to adverse weather conditions caused by Storm Eowyn. It comes as hurricane-force winds continue to batter Scotland as Storm Eowyn arrives.

Storm Éowyn is battering the west coast as a rare red weather warning has come into effect in Scotland. The area covered by the high winds alert - which lasts until 17:00 - has been extended to include most of Dumfries and Galloway. It already covered most of the central belt, including Glasgow, Edinburgh and some islands.
