SCOTLAND has been placed under a full national lockdown in order to fight the spread of the new variant of coronavirus.
Today at Holyrood Nicola Sturgeon outlined the new rules which would be brought into place from midnight. These new rules include a legal stay-at-home order, the closing of schools and nurseries, the closing of places of worship, and a limit of just two people on meetings with different households.

The weight of these new restrictions will prove hard to bear, but that hasn't stopped Janey Godley from trying to put a smile on our faces.
The Scots comic has once again given the First Minister her voice-over treatment.

Godley's videos have become a light in lockdown for many. When she shared her latest video on Twitter earlier one user commented: "To take this wretched situation and make us laugh out loud is a talent and a skill - and a tonic."
Another added: "Honestly these are the videos that keep me sane. 2020 was a difficult year and made harder by the fact I can’t see my best friends in the north of England.
"Even though the news isn’t great, these videos are a laugh and glimpse of hope we all need. Thanks Janey."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
