The University of Edinburgh has been closed due to the high winds that have swept across the central belt of Scotland this afternoon.
All university buildings, including the library were closed at 3pm.
Buildings managed by the Edinburgh University Students’ Association will remain open as will 24 hour computer labs which can be accessed with a swipe card.
In an email to all students, the University advised all students to, “make arrangements to leave the university” as “winds of up to 90 miles per hour have been predicted.”
There has been widespread disruption across Edinburgh and the rest of central Scotland because of the wind.
The Forth Road Bridge was closed earlier in the day, bus services are being reviewed and Edinburgh Zoo has also been closed.
Elsewhere, thousands have been left without power in Argyll and the Western Isles and motorists have been by police forces not to travel in the central belt.
The west coast was battered earlier in the day and the high winds are now moving towards the east.
The rest of the UK is also being affected by high winds and rain.
