In the Highlands ice and snow with Police Scotland advising of “very icy road conditions” on northern roads.
There’s high winds at Skye Bridge and Kessock Bridge, so approach with care.
Northlink Ferrries has confirmed all services are likely to suffer a 30 minute disruption to due to weather conditions.
The Oban – Craignure and Kennacraig – Port Askaig/Port Ellen service by Calmac are also affected.
And a couple of non related weather things to look out for:
Hilton Drive in Aberdeen is closed following a crash.
There’s long-term roadworks on St Machar Drive in Tillydrone at the Bedford Road junction.
Traffic is slower than usual on the A96 between Kinsgwells and Aberdeen near the Chapel of Stoneywood.
A diversion is still in place at Riverside Drive.
The usual congestion can be expected around Haudagain, Union Street, Holburn Street and the Beach Boulevard.
In Aberdeenshire one lane on the A90 at Stonehaven is closed for resurfacing during the night.
There’s also resurfacing work outside Peterhead, which could cause delays.
And in Keith temporary traffic lights are in place in both directions on Moss Street at the Bridge Street junction.
