Power still off after snow fall
Engineers are trying to reconnect power to homes in Perthshire
About 100 homes are still without electricity in rural areas of Perthshire as engineers work to restore supplies following heavy snow.
Scottish and Southern Energy said it hoped to have everyone reconnected by the end of the day.
In total, 45,000 homes were affected by power cuts on Thursday after heavy snow pulled down power lines.
About 5,000 homes remained without power on Friday but most were reconnected during the day.
A spokesman for Scottish and Southern Energy said: "The good news is we have managed to get the numbers down.
"We are hoping by the end of today we will have everyone back on supply.
"Engineers have been working since first light assisted by teams drafted in from the south. We are now left with the most inaccessible rural areas but we are doing our best to get people back on supply quickly.
"We've also got helicopters conducting line patrols to check whether any other parts of the network are affected."
Elsewhere the wintry weather was still causing problems on the roads.
Northern Constabulary urged drivers to drive with "appropriate care" as roads were still affected by snow in the Highlands.
The closures included the A835 Ullapool road at Aultguish, the B862 Fort Augustus to Whitebridge road, the B9007 Carrbridge to Ferness road and the A889 Laggan to Dalwhinnie road.
