Scotland is facing freezing temperatures, snow and icy roads after the Met Office issued a yellow weather warning covering large parts of the country.
The warning comes into force at 6pm on Sunday 15 November and remains in place until 10am on Monday, with motorists warned of potentially difficult driving conditions as temperatures fall below zero.
Edinburgh, the Lothians, Fife, Dundee, Aberdeen, the Highlands, the Scottish Borders and parts of Ayrshire and Lanarkshire are among the areas covered by the alert.
The Met Office has warned that rain and hill snow will move southeast across Scotland on Sunday before skies begin to clear overnight.
The combination of wet roads and falling temperatures is expected to produce icy stretches, particularly on untreated surfaces.
Temperatures could fall to -2C across parts of central and southern Scotland overnight, bringing a widespread frost ahead of Monday morning.
Forecasters expect snow to fall mainly on higher ground, although some northern areas could see wintry showers reaching lower levels.
The Met Office said: “Across northern Scotland, icy conditions are likely to be exacerbated by some wintry showers, with snow falling to low levels for a time before becoming mainly confined to higher ground late in the night.
“No more than 1-2 cm is likely at lower levels, with higher ground perhaps seeing up to 4 or 5 cm from these wintry showers.”
The warning covers Angus, Clackmannanshire, Dundee, Falkirk, Fife, Perth and Kinross, Stirling, Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, Moray and Highland.
It also includes East Ayrshire, North Lanarkshire, South Lanarkshire, Dumfries and Galloway, East Lothian, Edinburgh, Midlothian, the Scottish Borders and West Lothian.
Drivers travelling early on Monday are being advised to allow additional time for journeys, particularly on untreated roads and routes through higher ground.
Monday is expected to be largely dry and bright across much of Scotland, with sunny spells following the overnight frost. Temperatures are forecast to struggle to around 5C in many areas.
The cold conditions could bring further disruption later in the week.
Another weather system is expected to move into Scotland overnight on Monday and into Tuesday, bringing rain and the possibility of snow as milder Atlantic air meets the colder conditions.
Snow could affect parts of central and southern Scotland before turning increasingly to rain.
The Met Office says unsettled conditions will continue through the middle of the week, with further rain and snow.
