Travelling between tiers in Scotland. Should I? Can I?

I am just trying to think what to do here. I am in a Tier 2 area as is my DM. A while back we booked tickets to go to a museum to see a particular exhibition and go for lunch within the museum. The area the museum is in is now in a Tier 3 area. Our planned visit is next week.

The plan was DM would get a bus and I would drive there. We don't plan to go anywhere else while we are there. The Scottish government seems to be saying we shouldn't travel between tiers except for work/school/caring which obviously this isn't but it seems very low risk to me.

There is a long back story leading up to this visit which is making me keen to go. I am generally very much someone who sticks to the rules. My DM is very keen to go too.

Should I go? Can I go?

I have spoken to my DM and we have decided not to go. She understood the concerns about her travelling on the bus and she was also getting a bit anxious knowing that it is being strongly advised not to travel between tiers. We will have to stay within Fife so I think we will have a jaunt to Loch Leven Larder instead!

Will the v&a be open when Dundee moves into tier 3?

Am glad you have decided not to go and happy you have decided on something else to do instead.

One of the reasons that it was decided that Tayside could be split up by council area, was because the other areas currently have lower transmission than Dundee. It was said, though, that we are relying hugely on Angus, Fife and Perth & Kinross to stick to their rules, or the whole of Tayside may be moved in to tier three.

Just go.

Oops missed that you're not going. I still would tbh.

@PrimalLass

Just go.
We are not going as my DM has become anxious about it. She wouldn't enjoy it if she was anxious. We will visit it another time.
