He said: "The island is just devastated. It'll be a massive clean up job.

"They've actually had one go through the roof of a lodge."

The sea wall at Whitefarland on Arran also came down.

Elsewhere, early on Friday, Network Rail reported trees on overhead lines and a wall down at Kilwinning Train Station.
