Scientific advice is that transmission risks are very low in outdoor settings, as long as physical distancing is followed.
From 29 May 2020, unrestricted outdoor exercise and some non-contact outdoor activities within your local area – such as golf, outdoor tennis and angling – can resume provided physical distancing is followed.
It does not mean that taking part will always be safe. You should use judgement and take part only if you can do so safely, maintaining physical distancing and not putting yourself or others, such as rescue services, at risk.
 

The guidance on outdoor activity includes examples of permitted activities, a full list is available on Sport Scotland’s website. In Phase 1, these will be outdoor non-contact activities that can be done individually or without physical contact or being within two metres of another person (physical distancing), but people must use their judgement on what fits safely within the guidelines.

There are no restrictions on the length of time you can be outside, but strict physical distancing and hygiene measures should be followed and please stay local to your home, up to five miles.
 

No, you are permitted to leave the house as often as you like to undertake exercise, but strict physical distancing and hygiene measures should be followed and please stay local to your home, up to five miles.
 

Indoor sports facilities are scheduled to re-open as part of Phase 3 of the Scottish Government’s Route Map – providing physical distancing can be observed.
 

Non-contact training can take place now – however this can only be done within the restrictions on household gatherings and physical distancing must be observed.

From Monday 22 June, elite football, rugby and racing can resume behind closed doors with suitable health protection measures in place.

Museums, galleries, libraries, and various other visitor attractions, and cinemas – including drive-ins and other venues screening films – can now reopen. Physical distancing will be required and for many facilities. Tickets should be secured in advance.

Some live event venues, such as theatres and concert halls, and large event organisations will find it difficult to re-start while necessary physical distancing measures remain in place. 

The Scottish Government hope that in Phase 3 live events can be permitted with restricted numbers and physical distancing restrictions. They also hope that there can be a further relaxation of restrictions, in line with public health advice that can be introduced in Phase 4. 
 

All holiday accommodation, including hotels and self-catering accommodation with shared access, can reopen as long as establishments follow appropriate guidance. You can also use fully self-contained holiday accommodation including holiday homes, second homes and self-contained units in caravan and campervan parks, subject to the rules around the number of households who can mix.

Cinemas remain closed.  The Government is working with Screen Scotland and the cinema industry to explore ways to allow cinemas to open safely in a future Phase.  For now, physical distancing requirements mean that cinemas should remain closed.
Drive-in cinemas may be able to operate so long as they can adhere to health and safety requirements.  We know that several operators are considering offering drive-in cinemas and are working with Screen Scotland and the UK Cinema Association to ensure that appropriate guidance is in place.

From 29 June you may travel within your local area (up to broadly five miles) to visit a zoo or garden attraction that is open to the public. For the moment, only outdoor areas in zoos will be open to the public.  You should make sure that the place that you wish to visit is open and that you understand what the ticketing arrangements are before travelling.
