Incredible photos have been released showing the mammoth task of sorting thousands of food parcels for the country’s “shielding” residents.
The images serve as a reminder of the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on Scotland and how measures are still very much in place to protect citizens, particularly those most vulnerable.
The gallery of photographs focus on workers and volunteers from the Highland Council filling and sorting food packages for those shielding in the Highlands.
