Snow, ice, freezing temperatures, closed schools, trapped cars, empty shelves – The Beast from the East gave it all.
As the storm now withers away, we take a look back to the treacherous weather that hit Scotland last week.
The Good
The Beast from the Beast wasn’t all doom and gloom as many took advantage of work and schools being cancelled to play in the white stuff.
The Bad

The Beast was at fault for many road collisions and crashes as tyres slipped and slid across the north-east.
The shops were also hit hard as shelves went empty and petrol pumps dry.
