STRONG gusts of wind could result in travel disruption in the Highlands, forecasters warn.
A Met Office weather warning for wind kicks in at 9pm tonight and runs until 6am on Monday morning.
The Yellow warning – which is the least severe on a scale that also includes Amber and Red – flags the possibility of "very windy weather" across northern parts of Scotland.
It says there is a risk of disruption to travel, particularly ferry services.
The warning also states:
Injuries and danger to life from flying debris are possible
Some damage to buildings, such as tiles blown from roofs, could happen
Road, air and ferry services may be affected, with longer journey times and cancellations possible
Some roads and bridges may close
Power cuts may occur, with the potential to affect other services, such as mobile phone coverage
Injuries and danger to life could occur from large waves and beach material being thrown onto sea fronts, coastal roads and properties.
A Yellow warning means that you should plan ahead thinking about possible travel delays, or the disruption of your day to day activities.
The Met Office is monitoring the developing weather situation and Yellow means keep an eye on the latest forecast and be aware that the weather may change or worsen, leading to disruption of your plans in the next few days.
