The snow's likely to be around for the next week or so, with temperatures plunging even further later this week.

Not keeping everyone indoors!

However, there is always a silver lining, and the heavy fall of snow gives the opportunity for getting out and enjoying some winter activities.

This St Andrews Day morning saw a local resident making the most of it all as they were seen skiing along the foreshore towards Grangemouth.

Stay safe - and take care but take advantage of the opportunity of a bit of pleasure too!
