Storm Eunice: Travel updates and cancellations on roads, ScotRail and ferries

Storm Eunice has landed in Scotland, and with it, all the travel disruptions and cancellations that come with a major storm.

Conditions will be difficult for drivers and commuters on the roads, rails and ferries as a result.

The Met Office's warning for heavy snow is in force from 3am to 6pm - with snowfall up to 5cm expected in lowland areas and a whopping 20cm possible over high ground.

A very wintry day with snow, sleet and rain is forecast today, plus icy-cold weather as highs only reach 2 - 5C in Scotland.

Police Scotland have warned there is a "high risk" of disruption due to Storm Eunice.

However, ScotRail tweeted that they don't expect it to have the same level of disruption as Storm Dudley.

Here are the travel updates so far from Traffic Scotland, ScotRail and CalMac.
