Storm Eowyn Aftermath: Here are 20 dramatic pictures of trees blown down by the powerful winds in Glasgow

The storm may be over but the clearup has just begun.

Glasgow was battered by Storm Eowyn on Friday (January 24) as winds of nearly 70mph hit the city.

Shops and schools remained closed and people were warned to stay indoors to the extreme weather causing a risk to life.

Events, including the city’s Celtic Connections music festival, were cancelled as public transport ground to halt.

On Saturday morning Glaswegians emerged to survey the damage, with the Dear Green Place’s trees bearing the brunt of the damage.

Here are a few of the arboreal casualties.
