A NUMBER of schools across Scotland have closed their doors to pupils and staff today as a result of Storm Arwen.
Schools in Aberdeenshire, Moray and Angus will close today, with some continuing to be closed tomorrow, due to the ongoing weather issues.
Almost a dozen primary schools in Angus have been affected by widespread power failures or safety issues.
And thousands of homes are facing the possibility of a third consecutive night without power due to the storm, with around 3000 homes currently without water supplies.
We've taken a look at the council areas in Scotland and detailed which schools are closed due to the weather.
This list is accurate as at 7.15am, however if we have missed any, please notify us in the comments so that other parents and pupils can be made aware.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
