This week we’ve asked for pictures that sum up Scotland in the year 2020 and you’ve not let us down – here are some of the best images we’ve received so far, documenting a very strange 12 months.
5. A long way through, with light behind mountains
Michael Markowski took this picture of the sun shining down a glen. Those lucky enough to live near some of Scotland's most impressive scenerly are now appreciating it more than ever before. Photo: UGC
6. Lockdown first time around
During the height of the restrictions children were banned from using playparks, something captured beautifully by Ricky Morris. Photo: UGC
7. Quiet streets
Streets normally thronged with tourists were left to be enjoyed by just a smattering of people during much of 2020, like in this picture by Morgan De Groot. Photo: UGC
8. Dark
Paul Beech took this picture which typifies how lockdown left town and city centres abandoned at night, with all hospitality forced to close. Photo: UGC
