Boris Johnson to bring family on 'two-week Scotland summer staycation'

Boris Johnson is reportedly heading to Scotland next weekend for a two-week summer staycation.

The Prime Minister has previously talked up UK breaks - claiming some of his happiest holiday memories are 'bucket-and-spade jobs'.

Fellow MPs have come unstuck by quarantine restrictions imposed on visitors returning from overseas destinations.

Johnson previously spoke about allowing a "brief staycation to creep into the agenda, if that's possible" when quizzed about his summer plans.

The Sunday Times reported the Prime Minister, fiancee Carrie Symonds and their son Wilfred would travel north of the border next weekend.

A No 10 source declined to comment but did not deny the report.

Transport Secretary Grant Shapps was in Spain when the UK's most popular holiday destination was struck off the safe list of travel destinations, while minister for London Paul Scully was in Lanzarote.

Speaking last month, Mr Johnson said: "I would encourage people still to think of wonderful staycations here in the UK.

"There are all sorts of fantastic destinations, the best in the world, I would say.

"All my happiest holiday memories are of holiday vacations here in the UK, bucket-and-spade jobs or whatever, and I thoroughly, thoroughly recommend it, and I'm sure that people will have a great time over the summer."
