HIGH winds, snow, blizzards and sleet have swept across Scotland today.

While many of us gazed at the snow from the inside of our cars while stuck in traffic, others had a ‘snow day’ and were able to enjoy the wintry weather.

This park looked pretty in the snow, although extra-grip shoes would be needed!

Not the best conditions for a walk in the park! #stormdoris #dunfermline #pittencrieffpark #scotland #ScotSpirit pic.twitter.com/Ejaj1T6yfe

These hardy Scottish sheep don’t seem to mind their newly white field.

As many roads across Scotland were closed, many had to brave the elements and set out on foot.

Denny looks like postcard… But we’re not sure what this driver thinks of their icy surroundings.

A apt snow-covered welcome to the Scottish borders.

A walker makes the most of the winter weather and takes in the snowy Pentland Hills.

These photos sum up the two sides of snow… picturesque scenes… and traffic chaos!

Looking good: Dunblane suits a snowy dusting.

For many of us, a snow day means one thing… Sledging!
