Glasgow Times:

SNP leader Ms Sturgeon had previously been barred from visiting her family in Ayrshire because of lockdown restrictions.

People residing in Glasgow were not allowed to leave the council area for weeks when the city remained in Level 3 as the rest of the country saw restrictions lifted.

Ms Sturgeon - who resides in Glasgow - finally visited her NHS worker sister Gill once level two restrictions came into place. This means Scots can meet indoors in groups of six people from three separate households.
