Three weeks after almost all pandemic-related restrictions in England ended, Scotland lifted most of the regulations.
With a few exceptions, the distance rules have been lifted since Monday.
There are no longer any capacity limits for pubs, restaurants or events.
Night clubs are allowed to open.
However, masks must still be worn in authorities and on public transport.
In schools, too, it is still compulsory to wear a mask.
However, with a corona infection, the entire class no longer has to go home in isolation.
Scotland's Prime Minister Nicola Sturgeon spoke of "perhaps the most significant date yet" in the pandemic.
At the same time she called on everyone to be careful.
The pandemic is not over yet.
Almost all corona measures in Wales, except for the mask requirement, have been over since Saturday.
In England there have been no legal requirements for wearing masks since July 19.
The rules are still toughest in the province of Northern Ireland.
Here the government wants to decide in a few days whether to relax.
