Travel around Britain will be allowed from Monday after the Scottish government announced the lifting of restrictions on cross-border journeys.  

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said the ban on non-essential travel to England and Wales would end on 26 April.  

"From Monday you can travel anywhere across Britain for any purpose," she told a coronavirus briefing.  

Restrictions on travel to Northern Ireland, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man will also be lifted.  

However, people are urged to check the rules on entry before travelling.  

The current guidance in place in Northern Ireland only allows people to travel into or out of the country for essential reasons.
