Highland school and nurseries closed as heavy snow leaves over 20,000 youngsters at home
Over 20,000 school pupils and nursery children in the Highland Council area are staying at home today after heavy snow overnight forced closures.
With many bus services suspended this morning, a host of school heads took the decision to either not open for the day or delay opening.
By 7:30 am, more than 15,000 Highland kids were already getting the day off.
