A weather warning for snow and ice has been issued for Glasgow over Christmas Day and Boxing Day.
The yellow warning by the Met Office will come into effect from 9pm tonight, continuing until 6pm on Boxing Day with residents warned "wintry showers are likely to combine with some icy surfaces to cause some travel disruption, mainly to higher routes."
The warning covers the majority of Scotland and the entirety of the west coast with those affected told to prepare for delays to their journeys, some untreated icy patches on roads and pavements, and a small chance of interruptions of power supplies.

The statement from the Met Office reads: "Strengthening west-northwesterly winds will bring increasingly frequent wintry showers to parts of Scotland through Sunday night and into Monday morning. These may fall as snow to low levels for a time where temporary accumulations of 1-3 cm are possible, with 5-10 cm of snow over the hills. Icy surfaces will be an additional hazard, especially across parts of Western Scotland later in the night where showers will fall as rain or sleet.
"Snow showers will extend to central and southern parts of Scotland by Monday morning, although any lying snow will be confined to higher ground. Wintry showers will continue elsewhere within the warning area through Monday; a further 10 cm of snow is possible by the end of the day across higher parts of Highland. Strong and gusty winds will bring the risk of drifting and blizzards for upland areas, with a small risk of isolated power outages as the snow and strong wind affects power lines."
