As BEAR Scotland's north-west network team tonight continued to deal with snow now "falling thick and fast" on parts of the A835 Ullapool road, it earlier posted images of fallen trees it has dealt with on the same route at Ben Wyvis near Garve.
These have since been cleared from the road.

Further wintry showers "bringing disruption from ice and snow" are forecast.
This means that some roads and railways will be affected with longer journey times by road, bus and train services and that there's a raised risk of some injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces as well as patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths.
It also posted tonight that snow fallen around the A9 on the north-west network, adding: "Gritters are out working hard to clear any snow accumulation."
An online tracker showed one on the A835 near Leckmelm heading towards Ullapool and others on the A9 in Caithness and Sutherland.
