Arwen aftermath: Pictures show devastation caused in Tayside and Fife

Storm Arwen battered Tayside and Fife on Friday night with winds of more than 90mph.

It followed a red weather warning issued by the Met Office covering parts of Angus, Fife and Dundee, with Perth and Kinross subject to an amber alert.

So far, there have been no confirmed reports of injuries locally but there was major disruption to travel and damage to a large number of buildings, including Dundee’s Ballumbie Castle golf driving range and the city’s Charleston Bar.

Thousands of people across Tayside were also left without power.

The east coast of Scotland was one of the areas worst affected by Storm Arwen, with scores of routes closed by fallen trees, and bus and rail services also been decimated.

Here is a selection of images showing the disruption in parts of Courier country (Follow Storm Arwen live updates here).
