The cost of a quarantine hotel in Scotland will shoot up by more than £500 after the last travel update.
The price for a single adult stay in the mandatory isolation hotel, located near airports, is £1,750 - but this will soar to an eye-watering £2,285.
This means people arriving from a red list country will have to shell out more than £200 a night during the ten-day quarantine period.
The cost falls to £1,430 for the second adult, while children aged 5 to 12-years-old pay £325 and under fives are free.
Scotland is following in the footsteps of the UK Government, which is in charge of the hotel contracts for the four UK nations.
The Scottish Government states: "In light of a decision taken by the UK Government, which manages contractual arrangements on behalf of the four nations, the price of a stay in managed isolation is also increasing from £1,750 to £2,285.
"The Scottish Government will review existing hardship and welfare arrangements for travellers in managed isolation to ensure they remain suitable following this change."
The latest changes come into effect at 4am on Sunday August, 8.
Travellers coming into Scotland from a red list country have to book a stay at a quarantine hotel through an online booking platform.
Guests must isolate at the hotel for 10 days - 11 nights - at the hotels in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen.
Meals, fruit and soft drinks are delivered to your room and guests also have access to water, tea and coffee in the room.
But you cannot choose which hotel you stay in - and you must take Covid tests on day two and eight of stay.
Guests must remain in their rooms and not mix with anyone else, with security in place.
