Overnight snowfall meant some 15 Perthshire and Kinross-shire schools were closed on Friday 16 and two Perth secondary schools had to shut when a nearby water supply pipe burst.
Due to the wintery weather switching from a week of sub zero temperatures to warm enough for snow, school disruption came to most parts of the region, with hundreds of children mainly from primary schools in the Auchterarder, Kinross and Crieff areas having to stay home on Friday, December 16.
A yellow weather warning for snow and ice over Perth and Kinross was issued by the Met Office, lasting until 9pm Friday.
