Winds of up to 80mph are expected in some areas as the Met Office issues yellow weather warnings for Storm Gareth.
Northern coasts could get gusts of 80mph and there could be 50-60mm of rainfall overnight in Cumbria.
Stein Connelly from Transport Scotland said:"The high winds forecast for the west Scotland could lead to some travel disruption, with potential for bridge restrictions in the affected areas and spray on coastal routes. "The windy conditions are also likely to lead to disruption on other modes of transport, so we urge those planning to travel on trains, ferries and flights to check with their operators to see if their services are affected."He advised drivers to check the latest advice before making any journeys.
The storm was named by Met Eireann, the Irish weather service, and is the third named storm of the year, following Erik in February and Freya earlier this month.Weather warnings will continue throughout the week, with yellow warnings for wind in place throughout the day on Wednesday in Northern Ireland, England and Wales.
Parts of the North East of England will face heavy rainfall on Thursday and Friday, bringing another risk of flooding.
