Scotland will allow international travel to the 12 green list destinations from next week, following England’s announcement.
Nicola Sturgeon, Scotland’s first minister, announced the relaxation of restrictions on Tuesday, confirming the adoption of the same traffic light system for categorising destinations outlined for England by UK transport secretary Grant Shapps on 7th May.
Sturgeon has confirmed the green list will be the same as England’s for now and has stated that decisions will remain cautious.
She made clear: “Even as the rules are starting to change, we are not saying non-essential travel is desirable.”
