Unlocking lock down – Phase 1

Phase 1 – Current phase

For all those who are not living in Scotland, it is important to know what is happening here – regarding the relaxation of travel, movement and leisure.  Scotland has started the process of ‘unlocking lock down’ so we can all begin to have a little hope in our lives for fun things like holidays!

• Maintain physical distancing at all times, indoors and outdoors
• Travel by walk, wheel and cycle where possible
• If you go somewhere outdoors and it is too crowded to remain at a distance of 2 metres, please consider leaving and finding somewhere else to go
• All visitor facilities and services around the Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park will remain closed until further notice including car parks, public toilets, visitor centres, the Duncan Mills Memorial Slipway on Loch Lomond, and campsites
