Hi all! Someone recently wrote asking about the “ shielding list “ in Scotland and didn’t get a reply. Being in the US, I have no knowledge, but am hoping someone closer to Scotland might be able to help, so I’m reposting. Does anyone have any information? Can anyone help?

Ps, it’s snowing beautifully here in Maine. I love it.
