Scotland took its first step on the government's"routemap" out of lockdown over the weekend, with people from two different households allowed to meet up outdoors in groups of no more than eight.But she said it was clear that not everybody was heeding the advice, with police having to move on hundreds of people for not complying with regulations.
She said the 797 dispersals carried out by police on Saturday was five times the number seen a week previously, and that traffic volumes had risen sharply. Traffic around beauty spots like Loch Lomond and Glen Coe was"about three times higher" than it was the previous weekend, with Ms Sturgeon saying it was"hard to see how that was caused by local residents".
She said ministers had"deliberately allowed some flexibility" and"left some room for discretion" when setting out the new guidelines, because they trusted the majority to follow the rules. But she said:"It's worth being clear that if there is continued evidence of even a minority not abiding by these guidelines and travelling unnecessarily, or meeting up in larger groups, we will have to put these restrictions on group size and travel distance into law.Related Topics

Nicola Sturgeon should be facing serious questions from the media: not a PR service.
Why is UK copying Brazilian & US incompetence & not the good governence of our EU neighbours? Schools in Denmark & Finland only opened once they had: (a) got their track, trace & isolate systems working fully; & (b) got the daily infections in the low 100s not the high 1000s.
Majority of people in Scotland take advice from the pm, rather than the first miniture. She's way out of her depth. Nike conference an example.
night I think the restriction on travel distance is a really good idea and needs to be done in England, too.

People of Scotland ..forget about what your Nicola Sturgeon is banging you about breaches and warning you about breaches..she is not worth your listen. You , people of Scotland are not her puppies , just do what your other half England is doing and you be in safe hands.!!

Good for her and they should
Should be doing the same in England. COVIDIDIOTS everywhere
All Dominic Cummings is Guilty of, is showing us all that the Guidlines are too strict and that we need to make reasonable, parental decisions. The fact that he KNOWS all the intricate info about Covid-19, also shows us that it's not such a big deal. Thank you Dominic Cummins.
I personally think people have had enough and will be intelligent enough to stay safe. It’s a free country. The vulnerable should stay vigilant and continue to protect themselves. The idiots... well they can carry on being idiots 🤷♀️ livesmatter
if they can't follow the rules then the tough get going-sadly we've got a puppet in charge of England, he as to ask for doms permission to go to the toilet.

Nice to see you have the courage to say it as it is, and highlight reality. England for me has a cross your fingers and hope for the best attitude ?
She needs to make her bloody mind up
Time for the Nicola daily to change the script.we are adults being treated like children with a daily sermon. Time to talk and focus on the future, I fear we will be left behind as the world moves forward.
is anyone actually listening to her? 😂
Meanwhile in England, Boris tells us to wash our hands, like he has done with the Scientific Advice, his hands are dirty with the cover up of Cummings borisvoteofnoconfidence Borishasfailed Sackcummings NotMovingOnTillDomIsGone NotMovingOn
Good, do it now!
Sturgeon is a fascist and a racist. Not surprising for the leader of a party that backed a Nazi invasion.

Here in Florida we face similar issues. However noone seems to care about the thousands threatening our very lives unknowingly.
You are now allowed to do this, but we don’t want everyone to do it, and if too many do it, we will change the rules. Either let people, or don’t. There’s no in between. Why are you surprised that everyone wants to go outside, when you specifically allow it?!
Nicola Sturgeon loves having the country locked down tighter than her nickers. Tyrant!
Yep same goes for Wales too!!
too many Annie Oakleys and Fu Tai running around.
No need to worry weather about to change
England won't do that. Johnson doesn't have the balls. Or should I say Cummings doesn't have the balls.
