Scotland will be battered by heavy rainfall next week as a weather warning has been issued for large parts of the country.
The Met Office has put a yellow severe warning in place from 6am to 3pm on Tuesday, December 10 for the majority of the west coast.
As a result, bus and rail services are likely to be affected with journey times expected to take longer.
Flooding is also expected to be an issue due to persistent rain over the course of the day.
It's believed around 60mm of rain could fall as strong winds of up to 60mph will batter coastal areas.
The yellow weather warning will affect Central, Tayside, Fife, the Highlands and Islands, south west Scotland, Lothian Borders and Strathclyde.
A Met Office statement read: "Rain, heavy at times will cross Scotland during Tuesday accompanied by strong and gusty winds.
"Rainfall accumulations widely 20 to 40mm locally 60mm over high ground of western Scotland.
"Much of the rainfall will occur in a short time period.
"Winds will gust widely 40 to 50mph inland with 60mph possible in coastal areas."
