Nicola Sturgeon today told Scots not to go on holiday overseas but admitted that people wanting to see their family do have a 'good reason' to travel.
The Scottish First Minister said her advice is 'don't go on holiday overseas if you don't need to'.
But she insisted she wants to resume more foreign trips 'as quickly as we can' as the nation looks ahead to the expected further loosening of lockdown rules on August 9.
Ms Sturgeon's comments came amid questions over whether she will follow Boris Johnson's lead and allow fully-vaccinated tourists from the US and the EU to be spared quarantine.
The powerful 'Covid O' group of ministers is understood to have agreed that the travel self-isolation requirements can be dropped for some of the UK's major trading partners.
The policy decision applies to England, but there is an expectation that Scotland and Wales will follow suit.
