Waves engulf a lighthouse in Wick yesterday

These spectacular pictures depict the strength of the waves that have battered northern coastlines in the north amid severe weather conditions.

High waves have made for high tides from Wick in the far north to Stonehaven in Aberdeenshire as flooding caused traffic chaos and damage to homes up and down the country.
