Man dies and two women injured by falling trees as Storm Boelo hits Scotland

Several hours later, emergency services were called to Aberfeldy in Perthshire after two women were injured by another falling tree.

The incident happened on Poplar Avenue, near the footbridge known locally as the Bouncy Bridge, at around 12.50pm.

Both women were taken to hospital for treatment. Police have not released details of their conditions.

Officers urged people to avoid the area while emergency services dealt with the incident.

Storm Boelo brought destructive winds and heavy rain across Scotland throughout the weekend, with gusts of more than 80mph recorded in some western areas.

The severe weather brought down trees and power lines, flooded roads and railway lines and left thousands of homes without electricity.

An amber warning for strong winds remained in force across parts of Scotland on Sunday, with conditions expected to gradually ease from the west during the evening.

Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks said more than 24,000 customers in the north of Scotland were still waiting for their electricity supply to be restored at 11am on Sunday.

Engineers had already reconnected more than 19,500 properties after Storm Boelo damaged the network, with Argyll, the west Highlands, Skye and the Western Isles among the areas worst affected.
