Police Scotland Chief Constable Iain Livingstone said he knew of the “frustrations and the fatigue” of the public during lockdown, expressing his “thanks, respects and regard” to the people of Scotland for their co-operation with the service.

Mr Livingstone added that the police would be moving from encouraging and enforcing lockdown measures to putting more emphasis on advice and guidance to the public.

He added: “It’s absolutely vital to stress that the rules in Scotland have not changed.”

The Chief Constable said that officers would continue to be on the beat and would use fixed penalty notices as a “last resort”.

He added: “Stick with it, keep doing what you’re doing and we’ll have some weeks ahead to look forward to.”
