Stunning pictures show snowfall across Scotland as cold snap continues

SNOW has hit Scotland as the country recorded its coldest night of the year so far with temperatures hitting as low as -15.6 in the north-east. 

Commuters have been facing disruption while some have also had their flights cancelled. 

The National asked for people to send in pictures of how the snow was looking in their area.

The Met Office has warned that the cold snap is set to continue for at least another week, with temperatures remaining around zero for the next few days.
