As heavy snow brought by Storm Eunice batters large parts of Scotland, the high winds and extreme weather is already causing problems across the country.
Ministers in Scotland are warning people to only travel if safe to do so, and transport services have been heavily impacted this week between Storm Dudley and the snow warning in place today.
Please follow this important advice on weather tomorrow. #StormEunice https://t.co/qLkhoia0YY
