Wind and flood warnings remain in place across Scotland in the wake of Storm Bert.  

The Met Office has issued a yellow alert for high winds stretching from Glasgow in the south to Edinburgh and Perth in the East and northwards along the coast and Western Isles as far as Stornoway. 

Meanwhile, the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) has put four flood warnings in place for parts of Orkney, Easter Ross and between Ayr and Troon.  

The warning, the second highest on SEPA’s scale of three alerts, says there may be a danger of flooding from high tides whipped up by the wind affecting low lying land, roads and properties. 

It says this could be especially prevalent along the coastline from Ayr to Troon. Wave overtopping is expected to affect low lying parts of Prestwick Links Road and Troon. 

Two people are thought to have died as a result of the storm, which gripped much of the UK during the weekend.
