Hmmm.

There is only a very slight difference in the emphasis between the Scottish and English rules, but it's bordering on hair-splitting, though (as often seems to be the case) the Guidance differs a bit from the Regulations.

I can't find the Regulations as applicable to Scotland, but the Guidance (as reproduced above) asks politely that you "please try to first arrange for [food and medicines] to be delivered to you instead to reduce the number of times you need to leave your accommodation".

In England, the Regulations (which of course don't say "please", and are what you would be prosecuted under, if it got that far) say that, among the "exceptional circumstances" that would permit you to leave home if self-isolating are "to obtain basic necessities such as food and medical supplies for those in the same household (including any pets or animals in the household) where it is not possible to obtain these provisions in any other manner".

So I'm not entirely sure what this argument is about.
