        Hope they include Airbnb in the tourist tax. Will it deter tourists?

        You people are going to vote tourists out of your lives. Compared to other countries, you are one of the most expensive. More taxes is a detractor not an attractor.

        #wednesdaywisdom Can we please double tax pro #brexit voters from England who are more than happy to ignore Scotland (and NI/IE), but then feck off to Edinburgh, Belfast or Dublin for New Year or Hen/Stag nights?

        Your tweet does more than any tax to make people think negatively of Scotland

        Great idea. Make the city less attractive to tourists. Fucking politicians.

        Will this tax also be levied on people visiting on business?

        Too bad if you live just outside of the city but have to stay over whilst visiting a dying relative.
