Travel services remain severely disrupted with trains and ferries suspended and roads closed as Scotland recovers from Storm Éowyn.

More than 60,000 customers are still without power and Police Scotland said they have responded to almost 1,900 weather-related incidents across the country.

First Minister John Swinney said the clean-up operation would "take some time", and appealed to the public for "patience" while works are carried out.

One person was seriously hurt in a single vehicle collision in Mauchline, East Ayrshire on Friday, while another was injured when a van was struck by a falling tree in Glasgow.

A red weather warning for areas of central, southern and western Scotland expired at 17:00 on Friday but an amber wind alert remained into Saturday in northern Scotland.

The storm has now largely moved away, leaving behind a trail of damage and disruption.

On Saturday morning, 67,000 customers were still without power according to the latest figures from power suppliers.
