Gyms, swimming pools and indoor sports centres across Scotland can reopen from today as coronavirus restrictions are relaxed further.
Venues have been closed for nearly six months as part of the battle against the deadly virus.
The news comes as pupils and staff at Scots secondary schools are required to wear masks while moving about buildings.
Primary pupils travelling on school transport will also be expected to wear a covering on the bus but not in the classroom.
Fitness fanatics have been longing to return to gyms and sport centres during lockdown.
Gym bosses were left disappointed as pubs and other indoor venues were given the green light to reopen ahead of them.
It's understood the gym and swimming pool at Inverness Leisure Centre opened at midnight.
But not all clubs are rushing to reopen, with many taking a slower approach and aiming to reopen at the middle of the month.
Announcing the new rules for schools last week, the Scottish Government said while staff and students can continue to wear face coverings if they wish, they will not generally be necessary in the classroom as there is greater scope for physical distancing and face coverings can have an impact on learning and teaching.
However, it remains the case that where adults cannot keep a two-metre distance and are interacting face-to-face for more than 15 minutes, face coverings should be worn.
Education Secretary John Swinney said: "There is increasing evidence that face coverings can provide some protection for the wearer as well as those around them.
"We also know that some pupils have found it very difficult to physically distance when moving around school, which could increase the risk of transmission of the virus.
"And on school transport, as on public transport, there can be mixing between different age groups."
He added: "We want to continue to protect what we have achieved in suppressing the virus and re-opening schools, and to do the best for children in schools."
Swinney has stressed pupils will not be excluded from school if they do not wear a face covering.
It comes following advice from the World Health Organisation that children aged 12 and over should wear face masks.
Indoor activities for children are also now allowed.
