Met Office issues yellow weather warning for ice for Highlands and rest of Scotland
A Met Office weather warning for ice has come into force across the whole of Highlands – amid warnings to travellers of treacherous conditions.
The warning came into force at 6pm on New Year's Day and will remain in place until 11am on Monday.
A Met Office spokesman said: "Rain, sleet and snow is expected to ease during Sunday leaving surfaces wet and with a cold night to come this is likely to lead to icy stretches forming widely on untreated surfaces across Scotland.

Temperatures in some parts of Scotland could plunge close to -9C or -10C, with temperatures widely expected to fall below zero.
