In Scotland they recommend a PCR, but yeah must have changed recently to allow to you to leave isolation if you're jabbed and test negative
You're a non-household contact if you:
have had face-to-face contact less than 1 metre apart from the person who tested positive for any length of time
have had any contact less than 1 metre apart from the person who tested positive for 1 minute or longer
have been within 2 metres of the person who tested positive for more than 15 minutes car-shared with the person who has tested positive
As a non-household close contact, you should self-isolate and take a PCR test.
Thanks though!

I think you are confusing the rules of someone who has a positive PCR (isolate for 10 days, fewer with negative LFT after days 7/8) and close contacts. As a close contact you are exempt from isolation if you are fully vaccinated (source https://www.gov.uk/guidance/nhs-test-and-trace-how-it-works#exemptions-from-self-isolation-for-contacts ). You are advised to take an LFT every day.
