Scots wanting an overseas getaway might be in luck as Edinburgh Airport is set to launch direct flights to the Faroe islands next month.
The Faroe Islands have been on Scotland's green list since May 17, however travellers would have to go through Denmark, which had their own travel restrictions against the UK.
These restrictions are starting to relax, allowing those who are fully vaccinated to enter Denmark and Atlantic Airways will begin operating services direct from Edinburgh to the Faroes from July 1, WalesOnline reports.
This remote archipelago - located midway between Iceland and Norway, north of Scotland – is the perfect place to get away from the crowds, with a population across its 18 islands of just 50,000, plus 80,000 sheep.
The islands aren't short of outdoor activities such as hiking, birdwatching, fishing and adventure sports - alongside a vibrant food scene (including Michelin-starred restaurant KOKS ) and an exciting programme of summer music festivals.
Fully vaccinated travellers from the UK are now allowed to enter the Faroe Islands without the need to quarantine.
All visitors still have to be tested for Covid on arrival at the airport (at a cost of £36) and should self-isolate until they have received the result (usually within half a day), with a follow-up test to be taken on the fourth day of their stay.
Travellers are asked to follow the rules, keep a socially distanced from others until they have their result of the fourth day test.
Although travellers can still go hiking, explore the islands in their car and enjoy outside space as well as indoor activities such as visiting restaurants.
The anticipated 25th James Bond film, ‘No Time to Die’, used the wild and rugged scenery of the Faroe Islands in the third and final act of the movie.
Scenes were filmed on the island of Kalsoy, populated by just 150 inhabitants and known for its twisting roads, deep valleys and famous Kallur Lighthouse, perched on a steep cliff at the top of the island.
The UK's travel rules are reviewed every three weeks and holidaymakers were left scrambling to fly back early and some had to amend flights, as Portugal was moved from the green to amber list.
However, Nicola Sturgeon has reminded Scots that the Scottish travel advice is not to travel abroad unless it's essential.
