It seems to be that all travellers back to Scotland will continue to have to get the full PCR test thats £68 each or £272 for this family, despite arrivals at English airports just having to get a lateral flow on return
I thought I’d heard scotgov had followed the U.K. lead in this respect? Doesn’t look possible on the testing website.

I could understand and support these tests if this country was on top of covid and we wanted to keep a lid on it, but since it seems to be fairly rampant then you have to ask what the point is?

As davef says we've had supposed strictest rules in Europe over the last 3 months on travel, at the same time one of the highest rates.

The link it takes you to on the UK Government website suggests there's such a test available for £3?
"take a COVID-19 PCR test within 2 days of arriving in Scotland – you can use the CTM booking portal to book and pay £68 for an NHS COVID-19 PCR test, or you can buy a test from a list of private providers In England (at the moment, you should only buy ‘self-swab at home’ tests)"
I'm assuming I have picked something up incorrectly though?

Very disappointing and as has already been said you could understand the Scottish Government approach if case numbers were currently under control here and we were trying to keep it that way by ensuring people coming here from countries with far higher infection rates were not importing the virus back into Scotland.
As it happens though case numbers are currently out of control here and we have far higher infection rates than most countries in Western Europe where a lot of people will be travelling from and will be on our non-red list status, so there's much more risk for them allowing people into their country from Scotland than there is for us in allowing them to travel back here.
Really don't understand it at all.

For instance, Scotland could be in a much worse place had we not kept those last few measures in place so they would have an impact on the numbers in England?
Conversely to that point, these rules aren't entirely gone in practice in England anyway.
I'm in England now and I forgot my mask on my way in to a supermarket and stopped for a second trying to work out what to do before I realised I was in England and it wouldn't matter. That made me wonder how many were still wearing masks so I made a point of checking down isles out of nosiness and it was a lot more than I'd have expected - c.40% I'd guess.Mon the Hibs.

The point I was trying to make is if there's talk about us possibly needing to increase restrictions up here, despite keeping these measures in place and already being pretty much at the "plan B" stage which is being proposed in England, I doubt if putting "plan B" into place will take England to the point where they need to be going into winter and I think they will need to go much further than that especially when there's now talk starting up about us possibly needing to look at introducing tougher restrictions up here.

Good video with a Doctor looking through some studies and data regarding natural immunity vs vaccine immunity. The data appears to point to natural immunity being better and more longer lasting than vaccine immunity.

I'm flying out the 29th, returning 4th November. Was holding off booking my 2-day PCR in case the rules changed, but that's looking unlikely just now
Flying with Jet2, they have a list of testers they've recommended, one of them delivered the self swab to your home, guaranteed to be there on your return and you can "drop" the test of at various boxes in Edinburgh, the nearest to me is at a private clinic on Roseburn Street(somewhere near the Screwfix).
The test is about £41 per person.

A prominent adviser to the UK Government on Covid-19 has said he is “very fearful” there will be another “lockdown Christmas” as he urged the public to do everything possible to reduce transmission of the virus.
Professor Peter Openshaw, a member of the New and Emerging Respiratory Virus Threats Advisory Group (Nervtag), said case numbers and death rates are currently “unacceptable”.

I got the info from the JET2 website, available to all, not just their customers.
Best of luck!

A top doctor at NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde is urging people to stay away from A&E unless their “condition is life-threatening”.

You'll be able to visit all the family and friends, apparently it only spreads from people you don't know. :agree
