Scots have been warned that the recent freezing temperatures are likely to continue until the end of the week with power cuts likely to hit more homes.
In Shetland, thousands of households were left without electricity after heavy snowfall hit the region, with SSEN warning that power may not be fully restored for another couple of days.
Elsewhere in Scotland, a bone-chilling temperature of -17.5 degrees was recorded in Braemar, Aberdeenshire on Tuesday - making it the coldest place in the whole of the UK for the second day in a row.
