Ferries, flights and rail services have been shut down across Scotland as a large part of the country braces for the arrival of a violent storm. Winds of up to 100mph are forecast during Storm Éowyn with a large part of Scotland's central belt and the south west under a red "danger to life" weather warning.

Storm Éowyn's highest wind speed in England has been recorded in Northumberland, the Met Office has confirmed. 96mph winds were recorded at Brizlee Wood, a military base to the west of Alnwick. It is the same place that wind speeds of 98mph were recorded during Storm Arwen three-and-a-half years ago.
