Portugal has tightened Covid measures for foreign visitors in a bid to drive down rising infection numbers.
Scots travellers will have to show evidence of a negative Covid test, vaccination certification or proof of recovery to stay in hotels and other holiday accommodation.
Results from rapid antigen tests will also be accepted and can be provided by hotels prior to check-in, reports the Mirror.
These documents will also need to shown when eating indoors at restaurant within 60 high risk areas - including the capital city of Lisbon and Porto.
Hospitality measures will be enforced on Friday nights and over the weekends.
Announcing the measures yesterday, Cabinet Minister Mariana Viera da Silva, said: “For a long time, the only measure we had to our disposal was limiting economic activity.
“With the digital certificate, and the more frequent availability of tests, we have other ways of guaranteeing security.”
Holidaymakers and restaurant-goers can use the EU digital Covid certificate.
Portugal's restaurants association said in a statement "there were already too many rules and restrictions" and that the measures risk driving customers away.
"This (requirements to enter restaurants) could destroy the ray of hope for many business people," the association said.
The measure will allow restaurants to re-open for dinner on Saturday and Sunday in high-risk areas, where they were forced to shut for the two previous weekends.
A night-time curfew, already in place 45 municipalities, will be extended to a further 15 areas moved to the high-risk list including Faro, the main city in the popular southern Algarve.
Portugal, whose population numbers 10 million, reported more than 3,000 daily coronavirus cases on Thursday, bringing the total number of infections since the start of the pandemic to 899,295.
Nearly 90 per cent of new cases in Portugal are of the more infectious Delta variant.
The number of new daily cases has been rising steadily in recent weeks, returning last week to levels last seen in February when the country was under a strict lockdown.
Daily deaths remain well below February levels with new cases primarily reported among younger, unvaccinated people.
