Everything you can and can't do under new 5-tier restriction system Scotland's new tier restriction system and the classifications of all the nation's regions are set to be announced on Thursday. Scots will be given access to a postcode checker system so they can see what level of restrictions their neighbourhood is under. The tiers system, on the surface at least, can seem a tad confusing (for example it starts at zero, not one) and many of our readers have pondered what they will and will not be able to do when the new initiative is launched. Here we break down what you can and can't do under each tier in the system.

Do you think the UK will secure a Brexit deal? Have your say in the article's comment section here.
