Engineers are working to restore power to around 22,000 properties in the north and north-east of Scotland on Tuesday morning after Storm Floris hit the country with high winds. Work is also under way to clear trees from several railway lines which were blocked by the storm.

Storm Floris disruption is expected to continue on Tuesday as the clear up continues after the amber weather alert. Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) said it was continuing to restore supplies after about 50,000 homes were left without power.

Wind gusts of more than 80 miles per hour are possible on Monday, especially in Scotland, as officials warned residents to stay inside.
