16 pictures show Scottish pubs boarded up and closed during lockdown

Pubs across the country are pictured boarded up and closed after being forced to shut as a way of preventing further spread of the coronavirus.

Owners appear to have taken extra security measures to try and prevent theft or damage from vandals while the country is in lockdown. Wooden boards have been seen in pub windows and doors across the country in the last week as they stand empty. Pub staff and customers appear to be respecting the stay at home rules during the COVID-19 pandemic.
