In just 24 hours, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon will make the announcement many have been staying hopeful for - whether the majority of mainland Scotland, including Edinburgh, can move into Level one of lockdown.
It is unlikely Glasgow will move to level one restrictions as new case numbers of coronavirus continue to remain high in Scotland's largest city.
But what will life in Edinburgh look like if it moves into Level one next week?
