Snow forces closure of Culloden Battlefield visitor centre
It means there is a chance of further possible disruption like that experienced on the roads on Monday. The likes of the National Trust for Scotland was forced to close its visitor centre at Culloden Battlefield owing to the cold weather.
The current Met Office warning will run until 11am on Tuesday.
A Met Office spokesman said: "A band of rain will gradually turn to snow from the north during Monday morning, initially above 200m, but later, to low-levels. Two to four centimetres are possible above 200m and 5-10cm above 300m.
"A few centimetres may develop locally at lower levels into the evening. Rain and snow should clear to the south of the area Monday evening, and with skies clearing, icy stretches will be possible on untreated surfaces. Occasional snow showers will follow into the north and west of Scotland during Monday evening and night giving a few centimetres of snow in places."
