High winds have caused disruption in parts of Scotland with gusts reaching nearly 60mph in the Outer Hebrides.
The Met Office has put in place a yellow "be aware" weather warning covering most of the country for Sunday, with winds expected to increase throughout the day.
Forecasters said gusts of 50 to 60mph are expected over the far north and north-west Scotland and could reach between 40 and 50mph in other areas.
A gust of 56mph has been recorded on South Uist in the Outer Hebrides, with 55mph recorded in Aultbea in the north-west Highlands.
Wind speeds have reached 53mph in Loch Glascarnoch, near Garve in the Highlands, and 46mph in Leuchars, Fife.
On higher ground, a gust of 102mph was recorded on the top of the Cairngorms.
Wind warnings or restrictions have been put in place on bridges including the A90 Forth Road Bridge, A87 Skye Bridge and A92 Tay Road Bridge.
The weather has also disrupted CalMac ferry sailings on the west coast, with some services cancelled or suspended.
Forecasters said the windy conditions were due to a relatively deep area of low pressure moving slowly eastwards between Scotland and Iceland.
The Met Office said: "The strongest winds are expected to be across northern and north-western Scotland, but some locally strong gusts are still possible even across south-eastern Scotland, particularly over and to the lee of hills.
"These strong winds will also generate very rough sea conditions near north and north-west Scotland."
