The risk of snow and ice across the country comes as 'extreme' wildfire warnings are also in place.
Scotland's fire service said cold, dry conditions created ideal circumstances for wildfires
A Met Office alert for snow and ice is in place for much of the mainland from 15:00 on Saturday until 06:00 Sunday. The SFRS said cold, dry conditions can create the "ideal set of circumstances" for wildfires to spread. The SFRS said the increased risk of wildfires was due to the weather pattern over the next few days, dominated by low pressure, warm air to the south, cold air to the north and low humidity in the south-west.
