Parts of Scotland are experiencing heavy snow showers and winds of more than 125km/h as Storm Conor makes its presence felt across the north of the UK.

THE Old Man of Hoy, in Orkney, is a spectacular sight. This vertical pillar, rising from the sea, 60m out from a sheer cliff-face, is 137 metres high and about 30m thick.

Storm-force winds of up to 100mph are poised to hit Scotland today, forecasters have warned.
