Snow has forced the closure of all Shetland’s schools and nurseries.

The council took the decision after overnight snow fell across most of the islands.

Mainland Scotland was also affected, with more than 30 Highland schools either closed or partially shut due to the bad weather.

A yellow warning for snow and ice is in place for Scotland until Wednesday but the major disruption experience in December is not expected.

BBC forecaster Billy Payne said snow had fallen in parts of Scotland, even on low ground – with 18cm (7in) recorded at Loch Glascarnoch in the Highlands.

Further frost and ice risks are expected over the next few nights and daytime temperatures should stay low, he said.
