I've booked a holiday to Morocco for Tue 26th April. However, I only return to Belfast from Scotland late on Monday 25th.

Morocco restrictions mean I need a negative PCR within 48 hrs of travel taken at the "first point of embarkation". It won't be possible to get one in Belfast in such a short time frame, do you think I would get away with using a PCR taken in Glasgow? 

Do they consider the "first point of embarkation" the country or city? In other words, will Edinburgh and Belfast just be considered as the United Kingdom?

I fly via London so maybe I could say I took the test in Glasgow and travelled down for the flight?
