A Met Office spokesperson said: “Today will be mainly cloudy with outbreaks of rain overnight with some hill snow; rain clearing east before dawn, as it turns colder with clear spells developing and showers in the west.
“Sunday will be a colder, fresher day with some blustery showers, wintry over high ground.
“Showers will be most frequent in the Trossachs, with the best of the brightness towards the Angus coast maximum temperature (will be) 10C.”
The cold snap brings to and end an Easter holiday week that has been one of the driest and most temperate on record, and one which has seen Dundee and Courier Country sizzling in high-teens heat and constant sunshine.
