A great result and vindication of your efforts on both judicial reviews. Without success on both JR1 and JR2, this appeal would have been unsuccessful. Some grand claims have been made by some, that business like yours have ‘always’ been operating unlawfully and planning

Scotland is yet to understand that it’s the loss of B&Bs across rural Scotland that will be the biggest impact of Scot Gov’s ill conceived STL legislation. The loss of livelihoods, the loss to local communities and to visitor accommodation. No more folk eating at the local pub

The number of SNP MSPs walking into the chamber after 5pm to vote on the STL debate they haven’t listened to, is a very bad look for them and indeed is a bad look for the governance of Scotland’s key industries.

Maybe John Mason has different intel, but I’d say that someone planning on staying in a B&B is unlikely to choose to camp instead. They’ll just go to England or elsewhere.
Could our own Government understand one of our key sectors any less? It’s extraordinary. Does ANYONE

I’m hearing a lot of misconceptions about the STL licence process. No wonder when
@PaulMcLennan7
is helping spread the misinformation. This thread explains why hosts in many areas – like Edinburgh – can’t just apply for a license. We are being blocked from even having the chance!
Let’s be clear. The public is being misled.
@PaulMcLennan7
says that “No operator to date has been refused a licence.” This is *incorrect*. (1/16)
