Schools across the north-east will be closed on Friday as Storm Eowyn sweeps across the country.

Aberdeen Council confirmed all schools would be closed today.

The Met Office has issued a number of weather warnings which come into effect from midnight and continue into Saturday.

The storm is expected to bring heavy rain, snow and harsh winds up to 80mph.

Aberdeenshire Council, Argyll and Bute Council and Comhairle nan Eilean Siar are the first to confirm a number of schools will be closed across the region as a result of the weather.

North East Scotland College (NesCol) has also said all of its campuses will remain shut.

Other local authorities are expected to share updates on schools this evening and tomorrow morning.
