He was on foot, not in a car, when the tree came down on a minor road at Mid Kelton near Castle Douglas at about 10.30am on Sunday. Police Scotland said he died at the scene and there were no suspicious circumstances. His is believed to be the first death of Storm Boelo. More than 82,000 customers across the UK were left without power.

Gusts peaked at 85mph in Machrihanish, Argyll and Bute, on Sunday morning.

First Minister John Swinney was warned similar storms could return early next week.

A flooded Largs restaurant, Tha-Tien-Thai, posted video of its kitchen: 'There is nothing left.'
