Severe gales are forecast to affect the Western  Isles and the Highlands on Monday.

Gusts of 70 to 80 mph are likely in exposed places as the adverse weather continues into Tuesday morning.

Large waves will develop around coasts.

Accompanying the strong winds, there will also be some periods of heavy rain, along with potential for several cm of snow on some high level routes mainly above 300 metre during Monday daytime.  

The Met office warned of the potential for disruption, particularly to transport and power supplies.
