Several schools across the north and north-east have been closed today due to the snowy weather.

With the arrival of the first snow of winter, school transport and difficult driving conditions has prompted councils to shut classrooms.

Many schools were already due to be shut today due to strikes, although a smaller number than industrial action which took place two weeks ago and closed the majority across Scotland.
