HOSPITAL roof tiles have been blown off in Glasgow as the extreme weather of the "Beast from the East" continues to batter Scotland.
Panels flew off Princess Royal Maternity in Glasgow today, with blizzard-like conditions hitting the city.
SNP councillor Allan Casey shared a photograph of the hospital on Twitter, accompanied by a warning.

Please be careful around Glasgow Royal Infirmary as I am hearing reports that part of the roof has sustained some serious damage. In and around Alexandra Parade & Wishart Street please be careful. pic.twitter.com/cIGSss1cU1
Assessments are being carried out on site and work is being done to make the area safe.
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde said no one had been injured in the incident.
The health board is among a number to cancel all non-essential operations and outpatient appointments because of the severe weather.
An amber warning for snow is place across much of Scotland until 10am tomorrow, with a yellow alert continuing over the coming days.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
