The storm is expected to continue into Sunday.
Scotland is battling a weekend of heavy rain and high winds, with a number of flood alerts and wind warnings issued as Storm Kathleen continues.
Vincent Fitzsimons, Sepa’s flood duty manager, said: “Across the weekend, Scotland is braced for impacts from Storm Kathleen including very high winds and coastal flooding in western areas.“Impacts start in the Solway coast and Firth of Clyde on Saturday and then move around the coast to the eastern side of the country over the next few days.
“On top of already high tides, Kathleen will bring a storm surge and large waves. This combination is particularly dangerous – especially around high tides. “Be careful when travelling around exposed coastal areas and don’t walk or drive through flood water as there may be hidden hazards.”6Apr Due to adverse weather, all further sailings are cancelled. A shuttle bus service will continue to operate close to timetable as possible. The last bus will depart Dunoon at 2150 and Gourock at 2220.
