An expert has issued advice for potential power cuts ahead of Storm Otto.
The SP Energy Networks chief shared tips for customers, in case their power cuts out due to high winds today.
This comes as the MET Office issued a yellow weather warning for much of Scotland, between 3am and 3pm.

Guy Jefferson, Chief Operating Officer, SP Energy Networks, said: “With severe weather forecast, potential damage to our power lines is more likely and it’s important our customers are fully prepared, just in case.
“We’re currently mobilising teams of engineers to areas where we expect Storm Otto to have the most impact and our teams are on hand 24/7 to help all of our customers should they find themselves without power.
“If you experience a power cut, please report it to us as quickly as possible by calling the national emergency helpline on 105. The sooner we know about any power cuts, the quicker we can make sure power is restored to anyone impacted.”
