Landslides have closed the Inverness to Ullapool road and the Rest and Be Thankful as further heavy rains battered the west of Scotland.

Police said there were no possible diversions on the A835 Ullapool road after it was shut at Garve and it was difficult to say when it may reopen.

Drivers were urged to avoid the area. Work is under way to clear the road.

Emergency teams are also being mobilised to the slip on the A83 Rest and Be Thankful.

The A82 south of Fort William partially reopened on Monday after two landslides blocked the road on Sunday.

Police Scotland urged caution on the roads in the west, Highlands and north east.

The bad weather is expected to ease in many areas midway through Tuesday morning.

However, the Met Office said that since Saturday the worst-affected parts of the country had seen 3-day rainfall totals in excess of 150mm (5.9ins).

And BBC Scotland weather presenter Chris Blanchett said 265mm of rain (10.4ins) had fallen in some parts of the Highlands since Friday.
