Historic Environment Scotland, which operates the cathedral, plans to open 23 Scottish buildings by the end of September.

"I am very pleased that we are on track to open 23 ticketed sites by mid-September, and this is all down to the efforts of all of our staff to ensure these historic sites are ready to safely welcome visitors once again.
