The Scottish Government has been urged to set up a national book of remembrance to pay tribute to those who died during the coronavirus pandemic.
Making the call, Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Alex Cole-Hamilton said the initiative could help explain the impact coronavirus had to future generations - and also allow "us to grieve as a nation".
While coronavirus-related death figures are no longer routinely published, by February 2023 - almost three years on from the first cases in Scotland - there had been 16,780 deaths registered where the virus was mentioned on the death certificate.
