A weather warning has been issued as high winds are expected to hit the east of Scotland next week.
Edinburgh, the Lothians and Fife will be affected by a bitter blast of wind on Tuesday, bringing rain and possible travel disruption.
Coastal areas are particularly at risk, due to large waves and debris being blown around the shoreline.
Gusts of between 60mph to 70mph are possible inland, while they could reach 80mph at the seaside.
Forecasters say journey times may be longer and there may be power cuts.
The Met Office said: "A windy period is expected for parts of Scotland and northern England on Tuesday.
"The most likely scenario is for the strong or very strong winds to develop across coastal parts of northern and western Scotland, with strong gusts across parts of northern England, central and eastern Scotland.
"Gusts of 60-70 mph are possible, with potentially 70-80 mph gusts around some of the most exposed coastal sites."
