Scotland is set to be battered by winds of up to 80mph next week after the Met Office issued a weather warning.
The west coast of the country from Dumfries in the south to Stornoway in the Western Isles will be hit by strong gusts throughout Monday.
The yellow warning has been put in place between noon and midnight on January 13.
Throughout the day there is expected to be disruption to road, rail, air and ferry links due to the severe weather.
It's predicted there may be delays for high-sided vehicles on exposed routes.
There could also be a short term loss of power in some rural areas.
Gusts of up to 80mph could hit some areas with people living inland seeing winds reach between 45-55mph.
A Met Office statement read: "An area of very strong winds will move eastwards across the UK through Monday afternoon and evening, clearing eastwards overnight.
"The strongest winds are expected around exposed coasts and hills in the west of the UK. Here gusts of 60-70 mph are likely, with a few sites perhaps seeing gusts to 80 mph.
"Inland gusts of 45-55 mph are more likely.
"A narrow band of squally heavy rain moving east, accompanying the strongest winds, may be an additional hazard."
