Scotland the Brave rings out on bagpipes as country shows appreciation to NHS heroes

The sound of bagpipes and clapping filled the streets once again as Scots showed their support for NHS frontline workers.

Residents across Scotland stood at their windows cheering and clapping as pipers played Scotland the Brave in the country’s national salute to honour hardworking staff.

The Clap For Carers campaign, which started online, is being staged to show the nation’s support and appreciation for NHS workers fighting the coronavirus.

Organisers said: "During these unprecedented times they need to know we are grateful.”

The Scotsman and the Evening News will be sharing clips from around the country over the next few hours.
