Residents in Shetland are expected to spend the night without power after heavy snowfall led to a power cut on the island. A blackout was reported to energy company SSE around 3pm on Monday after freezing temperatures overnight.
Engineers are currently working to fix the fault but it is understood some homes could be left without power until at least 11am on Tuesday, despite the company estimating the issue would be fixed by 9pm.
Residents have also been warned to avoid travelling unless absolutely necessary due to heavy snow and to travel with warm clothes, food and water if they need to leave home.
