SCHOOLS in Clackmannanshire will close tomorrow, Friday, January 24, with high winds set to batter the county.
Clacks Council have confirmed the closure, with the local authority operating only "essential services" during the storm.
All schools in the county, as well as ELCs, will be shut amid safety concerns for those travelling in the 80-90mph winds.
In addition, council buildings including Kilncraigs, the Speirs Centre and the Alloa Family Centre will also be closed, along with Alloa Town Hall, Ben Cleuch Centre, Whins Resource Centre, Sauchie Hall, Firpark Ski Centre and libraries.
Many other council areas in Scotland have taken the decision to close schools earlier today; however, Stirling Council is yet to confirm if St Modan's HS will stay open.
Earlier this week, the Met Office issued an amber weather alert for the country. It was then upgraded to red, with warnings of "flying debris resulting danger to life".
Residents are being asked not to travel unless it is necessary, while ScotRail have already announced that services will be suspend on Friday.
The Council will be operating essential services only on Friday due to Storm Eowyn and all schools and public buildings will be closed. Please refer to our web page for more information. https://t.co/69leSf854j pic.twitter.com/Bs3CiuhAl7
