Scotland Faces Severe Travel Disruptions and Power Outages in Storm Éowyn’s Aftermath
Scotland continues to recover from Storm Éowyn, with travel services severely disrupted and more than 60,000 customers still without power.
Several major roads remain closed, and most train services are suspended until at least noon.
The storm caused significant incidents, including a serious single-vehicle collision in Mauchline, East Ayrshire, at around 07:10 on Friday. Another person was injured in Glasgow when a van was struck by a falling tree at approximately 09:00.
Police Scotland reported responding to nearly 1,900 weather-related incidents across the country.
A red weather warning covering central, southern, and western Scotland expired at 17:00 on Friday, but an amber wind alert remained in effect overnight for northern Scotland.
While the storm has largely moved on, it has left widespread damage and disruption in its wake. As of Saturday morning, power suppliers reported that 67,000 customers were still without electricity.
