POPULAR holiday parks with Glasgow punters will remain closed until later this year due to the Covid-19 pandemic. 

Haven has announced its destinations across Scotland will be shut until the start of July. 

This is an additional month on top of their original schedule which planned to reopen their sites in Scotland on June 1.

There are five Haven holiday parks north of the border: Craig Tara, Ayr, Wemyss Bay Holiday Park, Haven Seton Sands Holiday Village, Edinburgh, Berwick Holiday Park and Haven Haggerston Castle Holiday Park, also in Berwick.

A spokesperson for the company said: "As the threat around Covid-19 continues, we have taken the decision to extend the closure of all Haven holiday parks across the UK, from June 1 to July 2 2020.

"Despite recent changes to the Government’s lockdown restrictions (these apply to England only), the safety of our guests and team remains our number one priority and so under the ongoing circumstances, we believe keeping our parks closed is the right thing to do.

"We appreciate how disappointing this decision will be for those families that were due to stay with us during this time and wish we could have offered them the Haven experience they were so excited for.

"We’d like to apologise for the disruption caused by the extended closure and hope guests can understand the reason for our decision.

"We are in the process of contacting all those affected with the new options available to them and would encourage guests to continue to check both our website and social media channels for additional updates.

"Thank you to our guests and teams for their continued patience and support during what is undoubtedly a very tough time for so many.

"We look forward to welcoming everyone back to our parks as soon as we feel it’s safe to do so."
