Yellow weather warnings for snow and ice are in place across much of Scotland on Thursday as temperatures fell below zero overnight.

A yellow warning for snow and ice is in place in the north of Scotland, where temperatures were as low as minus 4C in the early hours of Thursday morning.

The Met Office warns that some roads and railways are likely to be affected – with longer journey times by road, bus and train services.

There will also be some icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths and some injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces.

Some vehicles and passengers could become stranded with possible delays or cancellations to rail and air travel.

Power cuts could also be expected in some areas across the country.
