Gusts to around 45mph on exposed high ground will give difficult walking conditions with a risk of being blown off balance. Rather chilly in the wind, note the sub zero wind chill on tops.

A windy and rather cloudy day with frequent showers, some heavy but interspersed with a few brief brighter spells, mainly for the Trossachs. Showers becoming less frequent along the west coast through the afternoon. Gale force gusts on exposed high ground.
Chance of cloud-free hill tops
40%.
Low cloud and visibility
Cloud bases 900-1100m but occasionally lowering down to 700m around showers. Visibility will be generally good below cloud bases, but deteriorating to a few kilometres or less in heavy showers.
