Cafes, beer gardens, non-essential shops and museums have started reopening in Scotland as lockdown easing continues.
Early-morning queues formed outside shops in Edinburgh’s Princes Street with shoppers keen to snap up a bargain in person.
The country moved from Level 4 to Level 3 of the Scottish Government’s five tiers of restrictions on April 26.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon announced last week that the continued suppression of coronavirus and the success of the vaccine rollout meant some restrictions could be lifted on Monday.
It means gyms, swimming pools, libraries and museums can reopen along with cafes, restaurants and beer gardens.
Hospitality will need to close at 8pm indoors, with alcohol only allowed to be served outside.
