Officials have said in the last few minutes that counting has been suspended at the site at Hoods Loaning until 4.15pm at the latest, reports say. The counting hall is in darkness due to a power cut that is affecting the wider region. Police Scotland say the power cut is affecting a number of properties in Dumfries High Street and the surrounding area including traffic lights. Declarations for the Dumfriesshire and Galloway and West Dumfries constituencies were initially due to be expected later on today. It is unclear how the power cut will affect the timing.
