Coastal Scottish town with Viking links and a 13th-century battle site
Emergency services are continuing a search for a missing person after high winds and rough seas linked to Storm Boelo disrupted Scotland and the west of Scotland. Several people have died, and schools and transport remain affected as warnings stay in place.
Storm Boelo has caused widespread disruption across Scotland, with power outages, transport failures and flooding persisting. Officials warn of more unsettled weather as a new low-pressure system approaches.
Several vessels were involved in emergencies off Scotland’s west coast over two days. A man overboard and a bomb threat led to evacuations at Ardrossan harbour on the MV Caledonian Isles, with 329 people disembarking and a police search. Latest updates indicate ongoing safety protocols and cancellations of remaining sailings.
