Around 17,000 homes homes remain without power and travel disruption is continuing after Storm Amy.
Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) said that by 3.30pm on Sunday more than 71,000 customers had been reconnected after the stormâs âextremely damagingâ winds.
SSEN, the distribution network operator for the north of Scotland, said engineers are working in âchallengingâ conditions to reconnect the remaining 17,000 homes.
Weather warnings have now expired, but there is still some disruption to rail services on Sunday as work continues to repair damage after the storm swept in on Friday.
ScotRail said that services are operating across the majority of the network on Sunday following âround-the-clock workâ by Network Rail colleagues.
However, there will be no services for the rest of the day on the Oban/Crianlarich and Fort William/Mallaig West Highland Line, nor on the Far North Inverness/Wick/Kyle lines.
No services are expected until later in the day on the Inverness to Elgin, Glasgow to Wemyss Bay and Glasgow to Alloa routes.
Mark Ilderton, ScotRail service delivery director, said: âWeâre very pleased that the vast majority of services are now operating. Storm Amy was even more severe than forecast with winds of up to 100mph in some parts of Scotland.
âThis led to very challenging conditions for the rail network, and working with Network Rail, we took the responsible decision to withdraw train services in many parts of the country where weather conditions were most severe.
âWe understand the effect this has on customers, but this was a necessary step to ensure the safety of passengers and staff, which is always our first priority.â
London North Eastern Railway said that the midday London Kingâs Cross to Inverness service will terminate at Edinburgh because of a fallen tree blocking all lines at Moy Loop.
It said that customers travelling to Inverness and stations north of Edinburgh will be provided with road transport from Edinburgh.
A yellow warning of wind was in place for the east and north east of Scotland, Orkney and Shetland until midday on Sunday.
That came after the Met Office issued a yellow weather warning for wind covering the whole of the UK on Saturday, while an amber weather warning of âdamagingâ winds was in force in northern Scotland until 9pm that day.
The Met Office said wind gusts reached 96mph across northern Scotland on Saturday, where Cassley saw 84.6mm of rain fall in 24 hours.
Weather warnings were also in place across much of the country on Friday when the storm first hit.
SSEN said wind speeds reached 96mph at lower levels on the island of Tiree on Friday, and gusts of more than 100mph in exposed areas.
The company said that most of the homes still without power are in the Highlands while some communities in Argyll and Bute are also waiting to be reconnected.
Nik Wheeler, SSENâs head of customer operations for the north of Scotland, said: âWith Storm Amyâs damaging and sustained winds finally subsiding, our huge reconnection operation is progressing well, although access challenges due to storm debris and fallen trees remain a concern.
âThere are even more engineers out on the network today than yesterday, thanks to the arrival of dozens more teams from our fellow network operators and contract partners; theyâve come here from all over the country, and weâre grateful for their help.
âWe appreciate that itâs taking some time to identify, access and fix all the damage, due to this stormâs rare intensity and prolonged nature. We donât take our customersâ patience and understanding for granted, and I want to thank them for bearing with us while we reconnect them as safely and quickly as we can.
âIâd encourage people to take advantage of the hot meal provision weâre organising if theyâre able, and to familiarise themselves with the compensation and reimbursement they may be entitled to.â
Irish police said a man died in a âweather-relatedâ incident in the Letterkenny area of County Donegal, Republic of Ireland, shortly after 4.15pm on Friday.
The storm also caused transport disruption with ferries cancelled, flights affected and roads and railway lines blocked by fallen trees.
Network Rail Scotland said that as of Sunday afternoon, they have had reports of more than 420 incidents across Scotlandâs railway as a result of Storm Amy and that teams are working hard to repair damage.
National Rail warned journeys could continue to be disrupted across Scotland, England and Wales on Sunday.
In England, the A628 Woodhead Pass reopened between Woodhead and Langsett on Sunday morning after an earlier collision, but it remained closed to high-sided and vulnerable vehicles because of strong winds.
The Met Office said that the âswirl of cloudâ associated with Storm Amy has now moved away towards Scandinavia.
In a post on social media, it said: âSunday has been a less unsettled day in Amyâs wake, but itâs still blustery in places with a few showers in the west.â
