The Works on Aberdeen's Union Street.

Discount stationery and book shop The Works is to temporarily close in a bid to encourage social distancing.

A total of four stores will close across the north of Scotland that includes two in Aberdeen, one in Inverness and one in Elgin.

The closures follow an announcement by First Minister Nicola Sturgeon that social interactions should be limited.

A statement on The Works Facebook page said: “Whilst we truly believe we have a valuable part to play in our customers lives, especially through these difficult times, we must play our own part to encourage social distancing for the safety and wellbeing of our colleagues, our customers and the wider community.

To all our valued customers. Please see the message below from The Works family. 💙💛
