In Sutherland higher routes have snow and slush, while lower routes are wet.

Heavy rain is being reported in Lochaber.

Maps of the council’s gritting routes by priority and policy are available online.

A Highland Council spokeswoman said roads information was a summary of reports from operational staff and “is intended to give a general indication of typical conditions in each area at a point in time”.

Traffic Scotland cameras show tricky conditions at Drumochter South.

She urged drivers to make their own assessment of conditions for travelling.
