Weather warnings are in place for much of Scotland as the country is hit by winds of up to 70mph.

A speed restriction has been placed on traffic going over the Forth Road Bridge, and the Tay Bridge is open to cars only.

The Met office issued a yellow "be aware" warning for high winds which are expected to last throughout Sunday and into Monday.

The north and northwest of Scotland will see the highest winds, but strong gusts are also possible around hills in the southeast.

The warning will remain in place throughout Monday for the Highlands and Northern Isles regions, with isolated gusts of up to 65mph possible.

On Saturday afternoon one person was injured when a historic fishing vessel, Reaper, was blown on to its side while in harbour in Johnshaven, Aberdeenshire.

Trains between Aberdeen, Glasgow and Edinburgh were delayed during Sunday afternoon after a tree fell down and blocked the line. Another fallen tree blocked the line between Inverness and Wick.

CalMac have reported that ferry services have been disrupted due to the high winds, with some services on Monday also being cancelled.

In a Glasgow, a concert at the Kelvingrove Bandstand was postponed due to the weather.

Homes in Broughty Ferry and Dingwall were affected by power cuts.

A wind speed of 68mph was recorded at Loch Glascarnoch, near Garve in the Highlands on Sunday, with speeds of up to 61mph in Tain, Kinloss and Lerwick.

STV weather presenter Sean Batty said earlier: "We can expect gusts widely to reach 40mph to 50mph on Sunday and into Monday, although they could reach 60mph in the more exposed areas.

"A deep low pressure system will sweep past the north west of Scotland on Sunday and Monday and bring some unseasonably strong and gusty winds.

"Given that it is still the school holidays and a lot of people are still out and about enjoying the great outdoors, this is something to bear in mind when making plans for weekend activities.

"The winds are most likely to disrupt plans for people camping, heading into the hills or perhaps those considering a ferry trip to the islands.

"Sunday in particular will not be a great day for hillwalking, with gusts likely to exceed 70mph here, and it's highly likely there could be some ferry cancellations and delays."

He added: "Ferries around the Hebrides could be affected late on Saturday and on Sunday, then possibly the Northern Isles on Monday, but as always check with the operator for the latest updates.

"Once this weather system clears away early next week the weather is looking much quieter and more settled.

"There's a few tentative signals in some of our computer models of a more settled spell on the way but we'll need to wait a bit longer to see if that comes to fruition."
