SNOW UPDATE: More than 100 schools across the Highlands to remain closed after heavy snowfall

Schools across the Highlands are set to remain closed today as heavy overnight snow is causing travel disruption in the region.

More than 100 schools –among which at least 72 nurseries – in the Highland Council area will not open their doors to students today (January 17).

Many schools in the region had already been closed earlier this week – prompting the postponement of highly-anticipated preliminary exams on Monday.

However the snow has reached the Inverness and Nairnshire areas as well as other parts of the region that had not been as badly affected in the past days.

The following schools are set to remain closed today – further updates may be found on the Highland Council's website.
