| Good evening, We know that many people broke lockdown rules over the weekend and the past couple of days, but there was one group in Scotland that took it to such lengths they've now been publicly shamed by the very company they paid to travel with. ScotRail have hit out at a group of 30 who made their way down to Largs, North Ayrshire, on Tuesday afternoon. Scottish Government guidelines say that only a maximum of eight people from two different households should be together at a time as part of phase one of the lockdown being eased off. Behaviour such as this will only lead to restrictions being tightened once more. Here are the rest of the headlines concerning the coronavirus this evening: Nicola Sturgeon has confirmed the latest coronavirus figures for Scotland. Speaking at her daily press briefing, the First Minister confirmed that 11 more people had died from the virus in the last 24 hours. It brings the total death toll of people who tested positive for Covid-19 to 2,386. More than half of all Covid-19 deaths in Scotland last week happened in care homes. The proportion of drivers breaking the speed limit in Scotland has increased from one in five to one in three since lockdown. A farmer has been charged in connection with failing to keep sheep and cattle from wandering on to the A9 in the Highlands. The Scottish Government’s decision to change emergency coronavirus legislation without parliamentary scrutiny has been defended as neither “sinister or malicious”.
