Thousands of Scots currently going through an outage in Shetland have had their landlines reconnected.
The island residents are now in their fourth day of the power cut after energy supplies were lost on Monday, December 12. Community hubs have been set up in various areas to offer emergency food while a multi-agency task force works to have 3,000 homes reconnected.
While main roads are now deemed as passible after being dug out from the snow, officers from Police Scotland have urged residents to remain at home if surrounding routes, such as backroads and side roads, are dangerous. It comes as sub-zero conditions are forecast to continue over the next 24 hours, with frequent rain, sleet, hail and snow showers.
