Restrictions on Scottish travel

Eleven authorities in Scotland have been placed in Tier 4, the strongest lockdown measures in the country, meaning that public transport cannot be used except for essential purposes with limits as to how far people can travel.

The Scottish Government put this into law ahead of its implementation on November 20, with East Ayrshire,

East Dunbartonshire, East Renfrewshire, Glasgow, North Lanarkshire, Renfrewshire, South Ayrshire, South Lanarkshire, Stirling, West Dunbartonshire and West Lothian all entering Tier 4.

Residents must also avoid unnecessary travel to/from Level 3 or 4 areas in Scotland. Level 3’s ruling is that people should avoid non-essential use of public transport.

The authorities in Level 3 are Angus, Clackmannanshire, Dundee City, Edinburgh,

Falkirk, Fife, Inverclyde, North Ayrshire, Perth and Kinross.
