The disruption in England has caused delays at Scottish airports Rail upset adds to travel misery
The disruption in England has caused delays at Scottish airports Air passengers in Scotland have been hit by the knock-on effect of airport closures at major hubs in England, despite Scottish runways staying open.
Aberdeen Airport said about a quarter of its flights were cancelled because of the weather disrupting Heathrow.
Glasgow and Edinburgh airports also had many delays and cancellations.
Despite heavy snow falls, particularly in the north east, Scotland has not been as badly affected as it was by the weather two weeks ago.
Officials at Heathrow airport in London said no more than a third of all flights would operate until 0600 GMT on Wednesday and warned passengers to expect delays and cancellations, possibly until Christmas Day.
Aberdeen Airport warned passengers that severe disruption would continue on Tuesday.
It said passengers should check with their airline before leaving home.
Weather forecasters said temperatures in Scotland would again drop overnight to -5C across most of Scotland.
But Scotland was set to avoid heavy snow in most areas, with Tuesday forecast to be dry, though still bitterly cold.
The Met Office did issue a warning of heavy snow in Moray.
Most councils opened their schools on Monday but there were closures in the Aberdeenshire, Moray and Orkney areas.
