Severe weather warnings have been issued for Scotland ahead of the expected arrival of Storm Bram.
The Met Office has issued an amber wind warning for north-west Scotland which takes effect from 16:00 until midnight on Tuesday, with gusts of 70-80mph expected for a few hours. This could reach 90mph in some places.
Storm Bram, which was named by the Irish Met Service, is also forecast to bring high winds and heavy rain to the rest of Scotland.
The Met Office has issued a number of yellow warnings for wind covering the whole of Scotland on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Storm Bram is the second named storm of the season.
It follows Storm Amy in October which caused travel disruption and power cuts across tens of thousands of homes in Scotland.
This time heavy rain could bring some flooding and travel disruption in places, and there is a slight chance of power cuts and loss of other services to some homes and businesses.
The Met Office has also warned of possible flooding to homes and buildings, and delays or cancellations to train and bus services.
Strong winds could also cause delays to road, rail, air and ferry transport alongside buses and train services.
Coastal regions could also be affected by large waves.
