Covid in Scotland: The suburb with Scotland s highest mortality rate

BBC News By David Cowan An Edinburgh suburb has the worst Covid mortality rate of any community in Scotland, new figures show. A total of 36 deaths have been reported in West Liberton and Braid Hills in the south of the capital - the equivalent of one in 100 of its residents. A coronavirus outbreak at a local care home which has been criticised by safety watchdogs is being partially blamed for the high death rate. The area has a population of 3,600 with nearly a quarter over 70-years-old. A total of 19 deaths at Braid Hills Care Home, run by Bupa, have been linked to Covid and are the subject to a Crown Office review.
