List of schools closed as snow falls across the north and north-east

A number of schools across the north and north-east have been impacted by snowy and icy weather.

Major academies such as Turriff and Mintlaw have closed to pupils, with a number of other primaries and secondaries facing a delayed start to the day.

Parents and pupils in Moray have also been affected with Rothes Primary and Speyside High among the closures.

Several schools and school transport services in the Highlands have also been disrupted.

The news comes after temperatures plummeted to freezing overnight, and a weather warning was issued for an ‘arctic blast’ over Aberdeen and Scotland’s north.

Weather warnings in place

The Met Office issued a yellow weather warning for the northern Highlands, Moray and the Aberdeenshire coast.

The warning is in place until 10am today with cold temperatures expected to continue through the night and into tomorrow.

Met Office forecasters predict the next few days will be the coldest spell of the winter season so far, with more wintry weather on the way.
