We appear to have tracked down that Kincardineshire weather station, which set up the hype about “85 mph winds”:
Inverbervie is the only climate station in that area, though I have asked the Met Office to confirm.
As suspected, the weather station is not in the town of Inverbervie, but at the top of clifftops about 600m from the sea, and at an altitude of 134m:

Google Earth gives a good idea of just how exposed the site is:

The photo below of Big Rob’s Cove, which is down the hill from the weather station gives an excellent view of how high and steep the cliffs are:

Average wind speeds at Inverbervie itself only hit 30 mph, a Strong Breeze on the Beaufort Scale:

Once again the Met Office are guilty of using a totally unrepresentative site for the express purpose of stoking climate alarm.
