This month marked the fourth anniversary of the first lockdown when everything stopped, and the streets of our tows and cities became deserted and silent.
While the days of lockdown are many that people want to forget, we look back through our archives to what Scotland was like at the start lockdown, and the messages and artwork which caught our eye during our Government sanctioned one-hour of daily exercise as we emerged into a silent and very different landscape.

18. Movies with a difference
Events moved outdoors in a bid to return to operating. Drive-in movies were staged, briefly, on a car park near Edinburgh Airport, and just next to a COVID testing centre - not quite the perfect atmosphere, but it was great to get out ... even if we had to stay in our cars! Photo: Allan Crow
