I was listening this morning to Spotify (Tron: Legacy soundtrack) and I got annoyed by an advert from a Scottish Government guy making a point of how they weren't relaxing the lockdown rules, and it occurred to me...

The Scottish Government is only responsible for raising part of its budget through taxes it sets. The rest of it comes from the UK government.

So politically the SNP can have the lockdown go on for longer, and deflect the blame to the UK government if that causes additional spending cuts.
