Pictured is Belmont Street, Aberdeen, as the city moved into tier 3 coronavirus restrictions.
The city was behind East Lothian, Midlothian, East Ayrshire and North Ayrshire.
Level three restrictions mean, all hospitality venues must close at 6pm and – inside or outside – are not allowed to sell alcohol. It also means people can’t travel outside their local authority area.
In Aberdeen city centre yesterday drinkers drifted away premises well before the restrictions came into force at 6pm.
Aberdeen University students Emily Cope, 22, and Daryl Nisbet, 23, were sat enjoying a drink outside Fierce on Exchequer Row.
