Monday marked the third day for a number of people who had been impacted, whilst Scottish Water said on Sunday that around 3000 homes were without water supplies.
Energy firm SSE said it may take “several days” before power is fully restored to homes, adding the damage caused by Storm Arwen was ‘three times greater’ than the Beast from the East in 2018.
