Scotland storm photos could be art

HARD winds have batted Scotland. Gusts up to 100mph and heavy snows are affecting higher land. The Met Office has issued a red alert for high winds. A tent collapsed at the at the Occupy Edinburgh demo in St Andrew Square. Lorries have overturned on M74. Mobile homes have been tossed over at the Stratheck holiday park near Inverchapel, between Loch Eck and the Holy Loch. A traffic bollard has blown over outside the Scottish Parliament. Granted, not all the storm damage has been equally dramatic. But there is a certain quiet poetry about it. It might even be art…
