Hundreds of schools are shut and travel has been severely disrupted after heavy snowfall across parts of northern Scotland.
Amber weather warnings are in place until 10:00 on Monday following several days of freezing conditions.
Drifting snow and ice have left road, rail and air travel impossible in certain areas of the mainland including Aberdeen, Angus, Aberdeenshire, Moray and The Highlands, while the Orkney and Shetland Islands have also been badly affected.
The Met Office warned that another 5-10cm (2-4ins) of snow could fall fairly widely in the north east, Highlands and Northern Isles while a few places on the mainland could possibly see 20-30cm (8-12ins).
