The worst of Storm Otto crossed Scotland in the early hours of this morning, waking us at five and bringing heavy rain and, with the sun coming out occasionally, rainbows. The northeastern part of Scotland seemed to fare worst with gusts at Achavandra, just to the south of us, hitting 52mph and the highest readings of 87.5 at Rogart and a cracking 98 at Invergordon lifeboat station - these figures coming from local enthusiasts with weather stations.
The storm brought the usual problems of ferry cancellations and school and bridge closures - the Dornoch Bridge to the south of us was closed as is our local high school - but happily the most serious problems in our garden was the loss of several bird feeders: they'll appear again in due course.
