'Tricky morning' on Highland roads as transport chiefs warn of challenging conditions amid weather warning and massive school closure list
TRAFFIC Scotland is flagging another "tricky morning" on trunk roads as thousands of Highland schoolchildren are given a day of school due to bad weather.
It advises that Met Office snow and ice warnings remain in place and earlier shared some wintry pictures from Altguish on the A835, the A9 in Caithness and the A830 at Morar.

It said colleagues at BEAR Scotland, responsible for the north-west road unit, "continue to grit roads this morning".
BEAR NW Trunk Roads meanwhile warns that snow remains across the network and urges motorists to drive to the conditions if out.
