The new year is off to a very cold start for many parts of the north and north-east.
Residents across Grampian and the Highlands woke to freezing temperatures and snowfall with another yellow warning for ice issued.
At least six inches of snow fell overnight in Braemar, with people taking to social media to share photos of the snow-covered streets.

All of the snow gates remain open at the moment.
Gritters have been out treating roads and clearing snow, with Aberdeenshire Council confirming all priority routes will be treated as surface temperatures stay below zero.
There are no scheduled public transport services scheduled today due to the holiday.
