Scotland's first minister has announced just one change in lockdown restrictions ahead of Boris Johnson's announcement tonight.
The government has said it wants all four nations of the UK to move as one in easing lockdown restrictions - but Nicola Sturgeon has followed in her Welsh counterpart's footsteps by outlining her own guidelines.
At a press conference today, Ms Sturgeon said there would be only one change in the lockdown restrictions coming into effect next week.
From Monday, people in Scotland will be able to leave their home for exercise more than once a day.
“From tomorrow, that once a day limit will be removed," Ms Sturgeon said.
“If you want to go for a walk more often, or to go for a run and also a walk later on in the day then you can now do so.”
Ms Sturgeon said the change was "definitely not a license to start meeting up in groups at the park or at the beach" and that it was to be used for exercise only - not “sunbathing, picnics or barbecues”.
She added that no other changes would be made to lockdown restrictions.
It follows a similar announcement from Welsh first minister Mark Drakeford earlier this week in which he laid out three 'modest adjustments' to lockdown in Wales.
Along with lifting the once a day exercise limit, Mr Drakeford said garden centres would be allowed to reopen and councils will be able to start planning how to reopen libraries and recycling centres.
Meanwhile, Boris Johnson will be addressing the nation this evening with his 'road map' for easing lockdown.
Mr Drakeford has said he expects the prime minister's annoucement to be 'in line' with the changes he made for Wales.
But Mr Johnson has come under fire today for replacing the 'stay home' message with a new slogan urging the public to 'stay alert'.
The first ministers of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have all since said that they will continue to use the 'stay home' message instead.
Ms Sturgeon used today's briefing to address tensions between the UK Government and the devolved administrations over the change in messaging.
She described the new slogan as “vague” and “imprecise” and said she had asked for the slogan not to be deployed in Scotland.
She added that the communications departments of both countries are currently in discussions on the matter and she is “confident” an agreement will be met.
