Severe gales and gusts of up to 75mph are disrupting travel on Scotland's west coast.

The Met Office has issued a severe weather warning for the Hebrides on Monday.

A total of 23 of CalMac's 26 ferry services have been cancelled or disrupted as a result.

A warning over ice, snow and frosty conditions has also been issued for central Scotland, Glasgow, Edinburgh and the northern Highlands.

The Met Office reported: "It will become very windy through this afternoon.

"Gusts of 50mph to 60mph are expected widely, with isolated gusts of 65mph in the north of Northern Ireland and in exposed coastal districts, whilst 70mph to 75mph gusts are likely in the Western Isles.

"Some disruption is possible to road, air and ferry transport, whilst localised power interruptions are possible."

It added: "A band of rain, with some snow on high ground, will clear eastwards on Monday night.

"Once this clears as ground temperatures fall under clearing skies, icy stretches will form quite readily.

"Two to five centimetres of snow is also possible on some high level routes above 300m, mainly across the southern and eastern Highlands.

"Ten centimetres of snow is possible over the very highest routes here where some drifting is also possible with strong winds."
