Nicola Sturgeon will face questions at a public inquiry next week on how the UK responded to the coronavirus pandemic.
The former first minister will be joined by John Swinney, her former deputy, at an evidence session in London on June 29.
Jeane Freeman, the former health secretary, will give evidence the day before.
The covid inquiry, launched by Boris Johnson in May 2021, covers decision-making during the pandemic in both Westminster and the devolved administrations.
Sturgeon was the public face of the response to coronavirus in Scotland and appeared on regular televised media briefings throughout lockdown.
The UK inquiry is being chaired by retired judge Heather Hallett. She previously led the inquests into the 7/7 London bombings.
The inquiry has no formal deadline but is due to hold public hearings across the UK until at least 2025.
It will examine issues such as the decision to delay lockdown at the very start of the pandemic.
Among those who have already given evidence include Jeremy Hunt, the UK health secretary, and former prime minister David Cameron.
A separate inquiry focusing on the Scottish Government's handling of the pandemic has yet to hold any public hearings.
It was thrown into chaos last year when the top judge appointed to lead the inquiry quit along with other senior members of the legal team.
The Scottish inquiry was launched in February 2022 but no timeline for its work has yet been published.
