Looks like all of Scotland moves to Level 3 from tomorrow. The same restrictions on movement will continue with the reasonable excuse of leaving your area for exercise/recreation provided you do not have an overnight stay.
IMPORTANT MODERATOR LEGAL NOTE: The above is false information. The law allows you to move around the whole of Scotland - as well as between Scotland and the other UK nations - for any purpose, including with overnight stays. See this post.
Interestingly, people from other parts of the UK are permitted to travel to and remain in Level 3 areas. So people from England & Wales can holiday anywhere in Scotland, but people from Scotland are restricted to their own local areas.
