A yellow weather warning is also in place for the North of Scotland.

These warnings remain in place throughout Friday and Saturday, with the yellow alert remaining until midnight on Sunday.

For those planning on travelling over the next few days, the Met Office warn: “Snowy, wintry weather can cause delays and make driving conditions dangerous, so to keep yourself and others safe: plan your route, checking for delays and road closures, amending your travel plans if necessary; if driving, leave more time to prepare and check your car before setting off; make sure you have essentials packed in your car in the event of any delays.”
