A storm is set to blow in across the north of the UK and Shetland Islands, bringing with it 80mph winds and a danger to life warning.

The Met Office has issued an amber warning for wind for parts of eastern Scotland on Saturday, warning of the likelihood of “injuries and danger to life could occur from flying debris” as well as damage to buildings.

It has also issued yellow warnings for wind across most of Scotland, the north of England and parts of north Wales over the weekend, lasting from Saturday morning until Monday lunch time.

It says a danger to life could occur “from large waves and beach material being thrown” onto both public and private property as a result of Storm Malik.

The public should also be aware of potential power cuts and the closure of some roads and bridges.
