Gale force winds are forecast to batter Falkirk over the weekend, with forecasters issuing a string of weather warnings.
The first Yellow 'be aware' Met Office alert comes into force at 4am tomorrow, Saturday, until 3pm with gusts of up to 70mph possible.
A further warning then comes into place at 6pm on Sunday, and that will last until midday on Monday. Weather expects say winds could be even stronger and gust up to 80mph.
Locals are being warned about the potential risk of power cuts and damage to buildings, as well as some travel disruption.
A Met Office spokesperson said: "An area of strong winds will cross Scotland, parts of Northern Ireland and some northern counties of England on Saturday morning before easing during the afternoon.
"Gusts of widely 50-60 mph are expected and there is a chance of a brief period of gusts in excess of 70 mph in places, particularly for parts of eastern Scotland later in the morning.
"On Sunday evening a spell of strong northwesterly winds is likely to develop across western Scotland, and then progress southeastwards eventually easing away from the North Sea coastlines during Monday morning.
"The strongest wind gusts will mostly occur around the coastlines and over the hills, with many of these exposed locations expected to see gusts reach 50-60 mph for a time.
"In addition, a small chance that a very limited part of the area could see a short period of more damaging gusts, that could reach 60-70mph inland, and 70-80mph around exposed coasts and hills."
