The front of a block of flats has been brought down in high winds as Storm Ophelia sweeps across Scotland.

The block in the south side of Glasgow, which was earmarked for partial demolition, came down at 4am on Tuesday as the storm passed over from Ireland.

Glasgow City Council said an exclusion zone had already been put around the block due to the planned work and no one was injured in the collapse.

A spokeswoman for Glasgow City Council said the tenement on Albert Road housed private flats and had been empty for more than a year due to structural concerns around the windows.

She said: "Stabilisation works to the property and removal of the bay window areas were due to commence on site within the next two weeks following the appointment of a contractor, by the owners' agent.

"Unfortunately, Storm Ophelia hit the city and there was a collapse. "The exclusion zone did its job and contained the debris and, because we previously evacuated the building, no one was hurt."

Train services were temporarily hit between Glasgow and Edinburgh and from the capital to Aberdeen, Dundee and Perth as trees were blown on to tracks but transport seemed to avoid major disruption.
