A road remained closed overnight following a landslide, as a risk of flooding remains in place for several areas in Scotland after days of extreme weather.
Northern parts of the country have faced days of disruption to road, air, rail and ferry routes after several Met Office weather warnings were in place.
An amber alert for heavy rain, snow and ice last week forced hundreds of schools in Aberdeenshire, Moray, the Highlands and Orkney and Shetland to close for several days.
Aberdeenshire Council declared a major incident with a number of schools still closed on Monday.
Argyll and Bute Council confirmed the A815 near the Rest and Be Thankful remains closed overnight following a landslip near its junction with the A83 trunk road.
A statement read: “A specialist geotechnical inspection has taken place and has identified a significant volume of loose debris and large boulders on the adjacent hillside. There remains a risk of further material reaching the carriageway, particularly given the forecast for heavy rainfall.
“Given this risk, the decision has been taken to keep the A815 closed overnight, with a further assessment to be carried out tomorrow during daylight hours.”
A decision to restrict vehicles over 7.5 tonnes from using the diversion has also been put in place.
The council said this follows an incident on Monday in which an HGV left the road at the B828/B839 junction.
The council added: “We recognise that these measures will impact on local businesses and road users; however, our first priority is to protect the safety of the travelling public.”
On Monday, the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) issued dozens of flood warnings for Scotland, with roads on the A9, A92, and A815 all affected by closures.
By Tuesday morning, there were still eight flood warnings and eight flood alerts in place.
Areas in Argyll and Bute, Caithness and Sutherland, Central, Easter Ross and Great Glen, Findhorn, Nairn, Moray and Speyside, Skye and Lochaber, Tayside, Wester Ross are all on alert.
Eight warnings are in place across the affected areas including three in Easter Ross and Great Glen at Moy Bridge and Strathglass.
Four warnings cover Spey Dam to Newtonmore, Sluggan to Dulnain Bridge, Boat O’Brig to Spey Viaduct and Spey Viaduct to Spey Bay.
In Tayside, Aberbothrie and the River Isla at Coupar Angus are also covered.
Through Monday evening into Tuesday morning, a yellow Met Office alert for ice was updated for parts of the north of the country.
The Met Office said: “Warning has been extended slightly in Caithness whilst trimmed for parts of central and eastern Scotland where road temperatures are expected to remain above freezing this morning.”
It now covers Aberdeenshire, Moray and the Highlands until 10am.
ScotRail said on X: “Due to adverse weather conditions, a speed restriction is in place between Brora and Wick today until 10.05am. The speed restriction will result in an extended journey time.”
A number of ferry services were also cancelled on Tuesday morning.
Meanwhile, snow gates at the Bridge of Dye remain closed with snow still heavy.
