The clean-up will begin later after Storm Ashley brought high winds and flood alerts to the Western Isles and northern Scotland on Sunday. Ferries, flights and trains was disrupted during amber and yellow weather warnings, with winds of up to 80mph recorded.

The Met Office issued a rare "danger to life" warning to the potentially destructive winds which could cause large coastal waves and put people at risk

Around 16,000 homes and businesses are without power this morning as the cleanup from Storm Ashely gets underway.
