LONDON, July 14 (Xinhua) -- Over 200 historic and tourism sites in Scotland are to open Wednesday as part of a rolling program to allow visitors to attractions closed in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Historic Environment Scotland (HES), Scotland's biggest operator of visitor attractions, has announced it will provide access to over 200 unstaffed and key-keeper sites across Scotland where physical distancing can be maintained.
With over 300 properties in its care, the HES is adopting a phased approach to reopen 70 percent of its free to access and ticketed properties by mid-September.

Visitors will have to pre-book tickets online and to use contactless payment where possible, with one-way systems implemented in some locations, according to the HES. Enditem
