Arctic blast boost for Black Isle outdoor curlers

This week's Arctic blast provided curlers on the Black Isle in the Highlands with some prime outdoor conditions.

Muir of Ord Curling Club members made the most of the weather, which has seen heavy snowfalls across parts of the Highland, north east Scotland and the Northern Isles.

The weather is set to change dramatically this weekend, with milder temperatures and Storm Isha forecast to bring high winds and heavy rain.
