Clap for our Carers sees Scots thank frontline key Coronavirus workers for third week

Thousands of Scots have once again paid tribute to NHS staff and key workers for helping to keep the country running during the coronavirus pandemic.

People across  Scotland  took to their windows, doorsteps, gardens and balconies for a third time since the  lockdown  to thank those fighting the deadly virus.

'Clap for our Carers' took place at 8pm throughout the  United Kingdom, as health staff and other key workers continued their amazing effort on the frontline.

It comes after a similar tribute was paid the last two week.

Last Thursday's effort also saw a number of pipers join in the public as part of the 'Pipe Up! for key workers'.
