Passengers have been warned further cancellations may be announced throughout the day.
Remnants of the hurricane will reach Britain's west coast on Monday afternoon, with gusts of up to 80mph forecast - exactly 30 years after the Great Storm of 1987 killed 18 people.
Forecasters are warning of flying debris, such as tiles blown from roofs, as well as large waves around coastal districts with beach material being thrown on to coastal roads, sea fronts and properties.
Strathclyde has been upgraded to an amber weather warning.
Other parts of Scotland have been downgraded to a yellow weather warning.
