AN eerily empty Dumbarton has been photographed by a local man while out on his daily walk.

Phil Dawson shared the photos on his Twitter page @PhilADawson, where he said: “My 40-minute walk with the dog today took me in a different direction. Dumbarton is socially isolating, certainly around the High Street area.”

Social restrictions continue throughout Dumbarton and the Vale as residents are asked to only leave their house for essential exercise and food supplies in order to help slow the spread of coronavirus and protect the NHS.
