School closures cause mock exam chaos after Met Office snow storm weather forecast

School closures across Ross-shire have caused chaos for the highly-anticipated preliminary exams taking place across Scotland today.

After months of preparation, high school pupils at multiple Ross-shire schools have had their prelim exams rescheduled to a later date due to snow storm chaos after a yellow warning from the Met Office.

Tain Royal Academy, Gairloch High School and Plockton High School, have all announced on their social media pages that any prelim exams scheduled to take place today, Monday, January 15, will be re-scheduled due to the school's closures.
