Storm Arwen caused damage across Tayside and Fife
Storm Arwen caused damage across Dundee as well as Perth, Angus and Fiife.
Some woodlands in the area may not be safe to access for several months with walkers, cyclists and other visitors asked to stay away.
The more than 90mph winds damaged Ballumbie Castle’s golf driving range and Dundee’s Charleston Bar. They were among the many buildings feeling the impact of the storm.
Thousands were left without power, about 3,300 households in Perthshire and Angus spent a fourth night without electricity on Monday.
Several roads were blocked by fallen trees and bus and rail services were also disrupted.
Several schools in Angus have also closed as the result of power cuts in the aftermath of the storm.
