A huge movement to say thank you to our NHS heroes and carers is happening across Scotland and the United Kingdom tonight.
The 'Clap for our carers movement' is encouraging everyone to come together to show appreciation for NHS workers and carers who are battling coronavirus on the frontline.
The national clap will take place today at 8pm, with people being asked to join in from their "doors, garden, balcony, window and living rooms"
The Clap For Our Carers campaign poster reads: “During these unprecedented times they need to know that we are grateful.
"Please join us on: 26th March at 8pm for a big applause (from front doors, garden, balcony, windows, living rooms, etc) to show all nurses, doctors, GPs and carers our appreciation for their ongoing hard work and fight against the virus.
"Please share this message, so we can make sure the word spreads and reaches all to join!"
Edinburgh Live would love to see you clap for our carers tonight. Send us your videos to news@edinburghlive.co.uk
