Lucky he had his tammy on...
The statue of the broadcaster and climber Sir Tom Weir at Balmaha, Loch Lomond, was left covered in snow yesterday as Scotland woke up to freezing temperatures and warnings of worse to come. The Met Office has issued a yellow alert for snow and ice and motorists have been advised to take care.
Travellers have been warned to expect disruption as wintry weather continues to sweep across Scotland.
Yellow warnings for snow and ice have been issued for the whole of the country except the Northern Isles, remaining in force until 10am today.
Forecasters are predicting that as much as 10cm of snow could fall overnight and into today in the highest areas, with 1cm to 5cm expected elsewhere.
Temperatures are likely to dip below zero, potentially plunging as low as –5C in isolated glens.
A ridge of higher pressure will see sunny spells in most areas later in the day, melting ice and snow.
However, it’s expected to cloud over again later, bringing wetter conditions and a chance of localised flooding.
Strong winds will also batter the country, affecting bridges and ferries.
Traffic Scotland is advising drivers to take extra care, with speed limits or restrictions planned on Forth, Tay and Skye crossings due to high winds.
The latest warnings come after treacherous conditions caused accidents on Scottish roads and saw ferry services cancelled yesterday.
A gritter crashed and overturned on the A76 near Mennock, in Dumfries and Galloway, yesterday morning.
The male driver suffered minor injuries-incident and was treated by medics at the scene.
Elsewhere, another crash resulted in the closure of the A82 north of Tyndrum, near Crianlarich.
