Authorities have warned that further disruption is to be expected as a fresh weather warning comes into place across Scotland after Storm Boelo. The Met Office has advised that a yellow warning for wind will be in place across most of Scotland from 3am on Tuesday until 9pm. The new weather warning follows Storm Boelo, which battered Scotland with 80mph gusts and caused a tree to fall on a man in Dumfries and Galloway. The storm, which sparked yellow and amber weather warnings for wind across the country, resulted in power outages and travel disruption. Thousands of people remained without power on Monday and several schools were shut following the storm. Major train providers have warned that disruption could continue on Tuesday. On Monday tributes were paid to Richard Baines, 60, curator at Logan Botanic Garden, who died after being hit by a tree in Dumfries and Galloway during Storm Boelo. Logan Botanic Garden, south of Stranraer in Dumfries and Galloway, is a regional garden of the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, whose director paid tribute to Mr Baines. David Knott, director of horticulture at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, said he was an “enthusiastic plantsman” and will be “deeply missed by many”. He said: “He was primarily responsible for a number of significant developments and initiatives at Logan including the first ‘all green’ public conservatory powered by green energy in the UK.
