TRAINING AND RACING PIGEONS IN SCOTLAND This statement is based on the principles set our by the First Minister's announcement on Thursday 21 May 2020 and Friday 22 May 2020 outlining a policy for implementing Phase 1 of the easing of the lockdown policy by the Scottish Government Individual loft training Individual loft training will be permitted from 28 May 2020. This is based on the advice from the Scottish Government Group Training In Phase 1 of the Government strategy, this allows individuals to meet up with one member from a different household, while adhering to the social distancing requirements of 2 meters. Therefore group training of 2 lofts is permitted. However training in larger groups (more than two) is NOT permitted. Addidtional Information In no circumstances should fanciers from different lofts travel in the same vehicle. You should also be aware that NO RACINGis allowed in Phase 1 relaxing of the lockdown and I do not expect any notification to be received before the next stage of easing of restrictions takes place.
