Watch: Shaky landing at Edinburgh Airport in Storm Eowyn winds

A Ryanair flight from Budapest has made a shaky touchdown in Edinburgh.

An initial attempt was thwarted by high winds, with pilots managing to land safely on their second attempt at around 08:30 on Friday morning.

It came ahead of a rare red weather warning that was issued for much of central, southern and western Scotland from 10:00-17:00.

Wind gusts of 95mph have been recorded on the Forth Road Bridge while a peak of nearly 101mph was reported in Lanarkshire.
