Thousands of Scots have been left without power after strong winds battered parts of the country. ‌

More than 1,000 homes and properties across the Highlands and Islands and the west of Scotland have been affected as engineers work to reconnect the properties. ‌

The Met Office issued a yellow warning for wind across the west coast and Western Isles as well as Orkney and Shetland until 11:00. ‌

The majority of affected households are on Mull, with some also around Lochinver, Lairg, Invershiel and Lochalsh.

Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) said it was aiming to fix the issue by early afternoon. ‌

SSEN said about 1,400 properties on Mull were without power and that their engineers were working to resolve the problems.
