Yellow warning issued for snow as Storm Darragh approaches Scotland

THE Met Office has issued a fresh yellow weather warning for snow in parts of Scotland as Storm Darragh approaches.

The forecaster has issued a warning for snow across central Scotland which covers the likes of Stirling as well as parts of the Highlands such as Aviemore.

It warned that snow is expected to “bring difficult driving conditions and disruption to higher routes”.
