If you're part of a tight knit community, it can be really difficult not seeing each other and having fun now that lockdown measures are in place. However, one community in Scotland have come up with a pretty imaginative way to all have some fun together.

While we've already seen socially distanced bingo and exercise classes, residents in Paisley joined together to do the conga- all while obeying social distancing rules.

Started by 49 year old dog walker Dawn Gilmour, the idea came about to help bring some extra cheer to the locals.

"We always look forward to Thursday nights and clapping for our carers. We all make sure we wash our hair and dress up a bit after spending all week in our pyjamas but last night we decided to do something different" Dawn said.

"Dancing the social distancing conga was great fun. We made sure everything was safe and everyone was a safe distance apart and then we just enjoyed ourselves".

The Paisley community aren't just stopping at a conga with Dawn adding that they've got bingo planned and a "singing in the rain" get together for a rainy evening.

"It's nice to know we can rely on each other" Dawn said.
