Has anyone used a day two PCR test once back in Scotland, Im having trouble finding one that will post out

The Scottish government are only allowing you to use a company called CTM. You can booked through scotgov. Com website. We travelled back last week with no issues. The cost for day 2 test was £88 each. Hope this helps.

Hi,
I have booked through Randox Health through Ryanair for £43 for the 2 day test. I was advised from someone else that the Scottish government were only allowing testing through one company but this, from what I have seen, has just been reported through different forums and not the government website.

My understanding was CTM was the only testing provider acceptable for entry to Scotland, hopefully I'm wrong and the cheaper Randox test may be used. Will be glad when travel is less stressful.

Not insurance documents but we did have to show negative antigen tests and locator form with proof of purchase of day 2 PCR test. On arrival in Glasgow passport control only asked for passports as seemingly locator form is linked to your passport. Hope this helps x

Sorry thought you were heading to Scotland. On entry to Spain they want to see your Spanish health form which you complete online before you head to Spain. If I am honest it was quite painless although I was a bit anxious before we went. Have a lovely time

Well done Bill for using your initiate I will be using the same company as you next week ,at moment because of travel through.France it will be day 2&8 but still £96 with Randox compared to £170 with SNP bandits ,I contacted my Member of Scottish government a SNP minister regarding the lack of choice for tests 15days ago and still no reply and they have the cheek to put on the bottom of their automotive reply SNP doing the best for people of Scotland ,I nearly wet myself when I read that

Next time we travel I will use Randox. We followed the NI guidelines and paid !88 x 2 fir the dsy 2 tests and did the tests, posted 12 miles away in their priority post box and HAVE NOT HEARD A WORD FROM THEM. WHAT A WASTE OF OUR GOOD MONEY. ...NO RESULT, nothing. What is it all about? Doubly vaccinated, antigen test before departing and still expected to waste our money. We could have easily had a test carried out locally for free.
