Commuters in Tayside and Fife experienced travel chaos as Storm Otto caused train delays and bridge closures.
The storm, the first to be named this year, forced the closure of the Tay Road Bridge and the Forth Road Bridge early on Friday morning.
Both have since reopened under restrictions.
A section of Blackness Avenue has also been closed due to loose scaffolding.
Meanwhile, those travelling by rail also faced delays as speed restrictions were put in place on some routes.
Trains between Edinburgh and Dundee were delayed by up to 20 minutes due to the storm – and trains between Perth and the capital were delayed by 15 minutes.
Carnoustie school roof damage
Burnside Primary School in Carnoustie has been cordoned off due to severe roof damage.
Angus Council say the school will be closed at the beginning of next week as a result, with no date confirmed for reopening.
The closure of Blackness Road in Dundee forced buses to divert.
One witness said: “They have two fire engines blocking one side of the road with officers diverting cars around the street.
“It’s kind of concerning, if it topples over it’ll definitely cause some damage – there are quite a few cars parked on the street.
“I saw some firefighters in one of the top windows trying to make the structure secure but two of its legs are completely off the ground.”
A spokesperson for the SFRS said: “We received the call at around 7.22am.“We mobilised two appliances to Blackness Avenue.
“The crews are currently making the scaffolding safe.”
In Angus, access road over Dunnichen Hill, near Forfar, was blocked by a fallen tree.
A spokesperson for Angus Council said: “Our roads team are aware and are in discussion with the owner of the adjacent land with a view to clearing the road.
“This is likely to take place tomorrow and the road remains closed meantime.”
Snow and ice to fall in Perthshire
A second warning for snow and ice affecting Perthshire kicks in at 11pm, lasting until 9am on Saturday.
Scots have been warned flying debris from the storm could cause “injuries and danger to life”, with buildings likely to be damaged and power cuts possible.
Further disruption to transportation is also possible and drivers have been advised to take care in the hazardous conditions.
Forest areas hit by storm damage
Forestry and Land Scotland (FLS) has urged visitors to be cautious if they are visiting woodlands in Perthshire and Angus.
FLS staff have been assessing the levels of storm damage to the forests it manages across these areas.
FLS Regional Manager, David Leven, said: “Otto has not been as bad as Storm Arwen but it has caused considerable damage.
“Unfortunately, storm damage is not always easily identifiable as some trees can be uprooted but not hit the ground if they are caught up in standing trees surrounding them.
“These ‘hanging’ trees can be extremely unstable and can come down without any warning.
“We would ask that our staff are given time to make their assessments to ensure that visitors are not exposed to any risk.”
