Those in Orkney and Shetland, some areas in the central belt and across areas of the Highlands are set to be affected by a fresh weather warning for snow and ice from the Met Office .
Inverness, Aberdeen and as far as Portree, Stornoway and Stromness are blanketed by the latest yellow warning and follows two alerts, with one finishing as of 11am this morning. It comes as people across the country have been urged to stay cautious of likely disruptive conditions. The Met Office stated: "Snow and hail showers will affect northern parts of Scotland at times, becoming heavier and more frequent on Monday night, through much of Tuesday and then overnight into Wednesday morning.
Brought on by a bout of Arctic air, this "disruptive" cold snap is set to bring travel chaos and winter hazards.
