Scotland's 'Biggest Snowball Fight' under lights

A town in the north east of Scotland has come together for a massive floodlit snowball fight.

Roxana Miskelly, 38, from Inverurie, said the idea was sparked on Monday after a huge amount of snow fell throughout the day.

Ms Miskelly said a call on social media saw a great turnout and the town squared up again on Tuesday night, with hundreds battling under floodlights at the local sports centre.

"Our idea has seemingly now started an epidemic of snowball fights breaking out all over the country, so we may not keep the title of Scotland’s Biggest Snowball Fight for long, but without a doubt we’ll be back at it next year, bigger and better!" she added.

It comes as an amber warning for snow has been issued for parts of Scotland after the country's coldest night of the winter.
