A fresh weather warning of 60-70mph gales has been issued for much of Scotland just as the country clears up after the weekend’s storms.
The Met Office has put in place a yellow alert from much of the North East on Tuesday, although forecasters say most of the country will be affected.
The spell of bad weather is predicted to last from the early morning until 6pm at night, and could see powerlines brought down and dangers from falling trees.
The alert also warns that some travel could be disrupted, while the coasts could be affected by high seas and large waves.

There will also be wet weather in many areas, though the weather is not being labelled as a full storm.
A Met Office Forecaster said: “The yellow alert has been put in place as a precaution following the weekend’s storm as there will be a lot of high winds.
“It won’t be as bad as the weekend, but there is still the danger it could affect trees and structures which have already been weakened.
“It will be worst in the North East, but everywhere will see a bit of wind and the rain is likely to be widespread.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
