A spokesperson for the main contractor told The Herald: “A section of scaffolding on our Park District development has sustained damage from high winds this afternoon.

“No one has been injured and all health and safety protocols are being followed, with the construction site and road at Lynedoch Place currently closed.

“The safety of all residents and our workforce is our main priority, both HSE and Police Scotland have been informed.”
