One of the big changes is that, with the exception of those living in the Glasgow or Moray council areas, you can now go on a break with up to six people from three households.
So, for the first time in nearly a year it’s possible to go away overnight with friends or family members who don’t normally live together.
Here are 11 great options for Scottish staycation properties you can rent that sleep up to six people so you can get away from it all...together.
All breaks can be booked at www.hostunusual.com and www.booking.com.
