THE Met Office has issued a new yellow weather warning which covers most of Scotland.
It comes following the chaos caused by Storm Babet as the worst-hit areas of the country begin to try recover from the damage caused by the extreme weather.
The yellow warning for ice will be in place from 9pm this evening until 9am on Monday morning.
It covers much of central Scotland, the Highlands and the east coast although the west coast will not be impacted as badly.
The forecaster said: “Icy patches may cause some disruption to travel on Monday morning.”
Regarding what to expect, the Met Office said:
- Probably some icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths
- Some injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces
Disruption is still widespread with ScotRail confirming routes are closed between Aberdeen and Dundee as well as Aberdeen and Elgin.

LNER has also advised its customers to not travel north of Edinburgh, and there are no LNER services operating from the city towards Aberdeen or Inverness.
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!
