Thanks for that Wully.
I can't see anything there about self testing for Covid, said to be a requirement 3 days and 1 day before visiting "the islands".
I presume it applies to Mull, and Skye?

There is no requirement for testing to visit the islands. The Scottish Government requested that visitors obtain self test kits and voluntarily test 3 days and 1 day before arriving on the island.

The self test kits are available on line from the .gov web site. They arrive within 48 hours of ordering, in a box of 7 tests. You need to order 1 set per person as results should be reported, pass or fail. If you only have 1 email address, you need to wait 24 hours when ordering the second set. The email address is used to send a code which you must enter. There may be a non-email option. Easy to do, I have been using a while now for work related stuff.
