Is It Illegal To Travel To Scotland?

[MartinMillar]

The guardian has stated that there is a draft paper published making it illegal to travel to Scotland.
Looked on the Scotland government site and it doesn’t say that just advise against it.
Does anyone know?

David, if people stuck to the rules and guidelines they would not have to be ordered to do anything.

// Guess I will find out tomorrow as stenaline have not been told to stop carrying passengers to Scotland //

read the draft (amendment) regulations here
https://www.gov.scot/publications/health-protection-coronavirus-restrictions-and-requirements-local-levels-scotland-regulations-2020-amendment-regulations/

for you, the important part is having "reasonable excuse". these are set out in Schedule 7A, paragraph 3, on page 8. if you reason for entering scotland appears there, happy days.

But danny, what are "rules" if they are not instructions ordering you to do something (or not to do something)?

The Regulations have been passed into law and will take effect from 6 pm to-night.

NJ. I think that an order is more demanding than a rule.Maybe I'm wrong but I think that there is subtle difference betwen the two.

[New Judge]

I think it's very subtle. :-)
