Math should be thoroughly ashamed of himself as he is deliberately misleading people. Of course, he may just be so thick he doesn’t realise he is simply spreading Shona Robison’s disinformation.

A quiet day on a Sutherland beach I’ve known for 45 years. No crowds. No congestion. No overtourism. Yet under Scotland’s Visitor Levy, this place could be taxed like it’s the Royal Mile in August. On my day off, I’ve been working with colleagues to fix the flaws. Rural…

🚨 Deadline Extended: Aberdeenshire Visitor Levy Survey The ASSC has submitted a detailed response to Aberdeenshire Council’s proposed visitor levy, urging a pause on implementation and calling for a fairer, more collaborative approach. We remain concerned about the potential…
@scothospgroup @theSNP @_KateForbes @Ivan_McKee I researched the visitor levy and globally only one country beats the combined levy take of 26% (20% vat+5% TVL+1% due to VAT on TVL) and that's Bhutan. We sure like shooting ourselves in the foot.

ARGYLL and Bute Council must understand the potential consequences before introducing any visitor levy, a group of accommodation providers has said. The Association of Scotland's Self-Caterers visited Helensburgh and Lomond Civic Centre on Thursday, June 26 as part of a…
Self catering is an important part of Scotland's economy and supports jobs and local communities. Yes, it really does. It facilitates wonderful holidays and provides short-term accommodation for other reasons. It's been wrongly vilified. Support it before it's too late.

Dear politicians, please hear us: self-catering is the backbone of Scotland’s tourism. It creates jobs, supports communities, and offers visitors a unique, flexible experience that cannot be matched. To compete not just in the UK but globally, we must protect this vital…
YOU CANNOT SOLVE A HOUSING CRISIS BY CREATING A TOURISM CRISIS. This week, @HighlandCouncil is voting on a proposal to impose a region-wide short-term let (STL) control area. Let me be clear: this is regulatory overkill. It adds yet more red tape to an already heavily…
