A white Christmas has been officially declared in Scotland after parts of the country woke up to blankets of snow.
The Met Office said that snow was found in the likes of Aberdeenshire, Shetland and Perthshire as of 7am this morning.
More flurries are expected to land in the southern Highlands later today.
A spokesperson for the weather agency said: “We have seen snowfall through the early hours of Christmas Day, though there has not been any significant snowfall since 5am this morning.
“Up until then we saw snowfall across Aberdeenshire, Perthshire and Shetland.
“We have seen snowfall on Christmas Day, so it is officially a white Christmas.
Snow and strong winds are expected to hit large parts of southern and central Scotland on Boxing Day.
The Met Office has issued two yellow weather warnings for snow from 12.15am until midday tomorrow - affecting the likes of Clackmannanshire, Falkirk, Dumfries and Galloway and Lanarkshire, among others.
Gusts are expected to pick up to 45mph while some parts could see up 10cm of snow during this spell.
Forecasters have warned that the conditions could become blizzard-like in areas of high ground.
Temperatures are also expected to struggle to get above freezing across Scotland on Boxing Day.
A notice on the Met Office website reads: “As an area of rain moves northwards, it looks like turning to snow over parts of Northern England, and then southern and central Scotland. Accumulations of 2-4cm of snow are possible above 200 metres and 5-10 cm above 300 metres.
“Coupled with strong winds, gusting to 35 to 45 mph in places, this is likely to lead to some difficult travel conditions across higher Pennine and Cumbrian routes, as well as the Southern Uplands, during the early hours of Sunday.
“Temporary blizzard conditions may be encountered above around 300 or 400 metres elevation. These conditions will probably move into some hillier central parts of Scotland during Sunday morning, while snow turns back to rain further south.”
