Council workers have been tasked with breaking the ice around Glasgow ponds to stop locals going on to the frozen water.
The local authority has taken action following temperatures in the city dropping to -7C and causing bodies of water to freeze over. Members of the public have been spotted on Queen's Park pond and the Forth and Clyde Canal despite warnings from Police Scotland and Scottish Fire and Rescue.
As well as warning that the frozen water should not be walked or played on, the council has now taken measures to make them inaccessible.
