Highland Council staff are out treating the strath's primary and secondary routes as temperatures fall.

The condition report issued at 7.09am today confirmed ice and low temperatures were affecting the area, but there had been no known overnight issues.

The mercury is set to fall, bringing a risk of ice which could be exacerbated by already sodden ground in the wake of Storm Babet.
