We're in for a wintry few days in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire as multiple weather warnings have been issued for the north-east as snow and ice batter the region.

More warnings have been issued for the north-east, with a total of three warnings currently in place across the north-east as wintry weather grips the north of Scotland.

Locals gathered along the Granite Mile on Sunday evening for the annual Christmas Parade, which saw the lights switched on and dozens of Santas dash down the high street.

Forecasters say scattered showers and freezing temperatures are set to lead to icy conditions on the roads and pavements, with the warning covering large parts of the north-east.

Emergency services rushed to the scene and a 55-year-old man was rushed to hospital where his condition has been described as critical.

Forecasts are warning of snow showers across the north-east this week, with the wintry weather likely to hit our region from Tuesday onwards amid plummeting temperatures.
