Coach and lorry crash off road during Storm Chandra

The vehicles overturned on the A82 amid high winds

It comes after some areas were battered by winds of between 50 to 60mph in Dumfries and Galloway, Argyll and Bute and South Ayrshire as Storm Chandra brought disruption to Scotland.

Three weather warnings came into force across the Western Isles, the Borders, the Lothians, Strathclyde, Grampian, Fife, Tayside and the Highlands on Tuesday.

On the A82, a lorry and a coach crashed off the road and overturned near Loch Tulla.

In West Lothian, the B9080 has re-opened between Bridgend and Threemiletown, following a report a tree had fallen on a car at around 1.15pm on Tuesday.

There were no reports of any injuries.

In the Highlands, one lane on the A82 north of Spean Bridge by the Letterfinlay Straights has reopened following its closure on Tuesday due to fallen trees.
