Have to say I tend to agree?So far most councils have proved to be extremely greedy in their proposals.REPOSTING THIS AS PREVIOUS POST (WITH LINK TO CONSULTATION) WAS REMOVED.I certainly do not oppose a sensible tourist tax in Highland region.However, the proposed Highland Council 'Visitor Levy' is deeply flawed and unfair.For the reasons listed below, I will be opposing the 'Visitor Levy'. by answering, 'strongly disagree' to every question in the HIGHLAND COUNCIL VISITOR LEVY CONSULTATION. The consultation survey can be found and completed using a google search. I, and others, had Facebook posts removed today because posting the link to the consultation seemingly breached cybersecurity rules???? 1. It is an accommodation tax not a tourist tax. 2. Everyone will have to pay, including residents staying in their own council area.3. Where applicable, VAT will be added to the levy, so a £5 per night tax becomes £6.4. It is an extra tax on residents. People staying away for medical appointments, visiting relatives in hospital, working away from home etc will be charged.5. Income from the levy will go into the Council pot rather than being ring-fenced for investment in the communities and areas generating the income.6. The levy will be treated as part of an accommodation provider’s turnover for HMRC purposes, putting some businesses over the VAT threshold. 7. It will be complicated and burdensome for accommodation providers to administer.8. Motor homes, camper-vans, tents, caravans, car-camping will not be charged if they are not staying on an official campsite.9. Day visitors and cruise ship passengers will pay nothing.10. There will be no cap on the number of nights the levy is charged. … See MoreSee Less

August is always so busy that it can be difficult to string thoughts together and get beyond whatever needs doing next!But now we've reached September, the pace has slowed a little. The seasons are beginning to turn, the evenings are drawing in, and the things our guests enjoy doing here are starting to change too.Fancy trying some mountain biking or foraging? Or perhaps you'd rather have a slower day — sitting by the fire with one of our books, or settling down with your knitting, crochet, drawing or writing project?There’s something rather nice about having time to do those things you never quite seem to get around to at home.Come and enjoy the Cairngorms at a slightly slower pace.We'll take care of the rest.#autumninthecairngorms #autumnactivities #cairngorms #fraochlodge … See MoreSee Less
