If you stay in Scotland on a tourist visa for the full 6 months how long do you have to leave the country for before you can return with another 6 month tourist visa?

Hi and welcome to the Forum.

The answer to your question is 6 months.

Hope this helps.

Really? So, if I arrived on 1/1/21 and left on 6/30/21 I couldn't return until 1/1/22?

Hi again.

From what you've told us about yourself, that about sums it up, yeah.  You can read all about this and other UK visas on the UK Government official website; this link will take you straight there.
