    Here's dashcam footage of one of our spreaders clearing snow on the #A835 last night - snow drifts are over two metres deep in some places. Road remans CLOSED between Garve & Ullapool and teams are working tirelessly to reopen the route as soon as possible.

    We're so lucky to work in such an amazing place - our Electrical Team were met by this chap in #BridgeOfOrchy car park next to #A82 yesterday, they managed to get a quick snap from the safety of the van before he saw them off the premises...!
