Snow day: What schools are closed across Scotland amid Arctic freeze?

Some schools and nurseries have been forced to close on Monday after transport was disrupted by widespread snow and ice.

Temperatures plunged below -10C in many parts of the country overnight on Sunday into Monday, dipping to -13.1C at Balmoral, -11.8C in Aviemore and -11.5C at Dalwhinnie, the Met Office said.

In Glasgow temperatures fell to -7.2C and to -6.7C in Edinburgh.

The weather caused disruption to travel on Monday and also led to school closures in the Highlands and Aberdeenshire.
