Storm Boelo has forced the historic Mackintosh Tea Rooms in Glasgow to close.
Charles Rennie Mackintosh and his wife designed the Willow Tearooms, renamed the Mackintosh Tearooms in February this year, and opened them in 1903.
In a notice posted to its front door on Monday, the team said that due to issues following the recent "severe weather", it had been forced to close and hoped to reopen "as soon as possible".
The notice read: "Closed today. We apologise for the inconvenience.
"Due to the recent severe weather, our water supply has been interrupted, and we are unable to open today.
"We are working with the relevant teams to resolve the issue as soon as possible.
"Thank you for understanding."

Ashley Rawson is a street artist who initially produced the work following the Union Street fire earlier this year, which began in an unlicensed vape shop.
A vape shop is set to open next door to the famous architect's building.
