Scots are being warned to expect severe conditions over the weekend, with further bouts of snow forecast for parts of the country in the coming days.
Temperatures are set to stay low, hitting minus 10C (14F) in isolated areas on Saturday and Sunday. A Met Office yellow warning for snow and ice is in place for much of Scotland until 12pm on Sunday.
The warnings cover parts of the central belt, Edinburgh and the Lothians, Fife, Tayside, Perthshire, the north east, the Highlands, the Western Isles and Shetland. The Met Office said the conditions could lead to travel disruption, especially on Monday morning, and a small chance of some rural communities becoming cut off along with a possibility of power cuts and mobile phone coverage being affected.
