She also has posted various brief video snippets to her IG stories from her Scottish travels. 

Some social media users criticized the High School Musical star for the posts, citing coronavirus restrictions and implying that the actress was flouting them.

However, other fans were quick to point out that Hudgens had a viable, professional reason to be in Scotland, as she is said to be filming the third installment of her Princess Switch film franchise.

And as with all professional film productions currently underway, the utmost precautions are being taken to ensure all those on set are at minimal risk of infection.

Like many parts of the US, Scotland is currently on a coronavirus-related lockdown.

As of this month, the Scottish government does not permit travel between Scotland and other parts of the United Kingdom, and strongly discourages or outright prohibits nonessential foreign travel, the BBC reports.

However, as seen back home in Hollywood, Vanessa’s Princess Switch shoot is apparently deemed essential as the production creates a significant amount of jobs in the local area.
