It does not necessarily reflect the view of The Herald. 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. “During his tenure, Logan also successfully gained a number of accolades including being voted the best garden in the UK by Which? in 2021. “Logan was also the first garden in Scotland to gain gold for Green Business Tourism award and install vehicle electric charging points, culminating in Logan being awarded 5-Star status as a visitor attraction by VisitScotland. “It will, however, be for his passion and enthusiasm for plants that he will be remembered through significantly increasing and expanding the plant collection at Logan, participating and leading fieldwork in China, Canary Islands and Vietnam from which seven plant species are currently being published that are new to science. “Richard’s contribution as an enthusiastic plantsman and curator at Logan and to the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh’s wider work and culture, has been immeasurable, and he will be deeply missed by many. ”
On Monday morning, Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) said around 25,000 customers remained without power, while around 70,000 had been reconnected.
