The leader of Edinburgh Council has called on the Scottish Government to "let us decide" what the proceeds of a tourist tax should be spent on.
Councillor Cammy day said Holyrood's recently published visitor levy bill was "a good start" but "not entirely where we want it to be yet".
It would give local authorities powers to tax people staying in overnight accommodation at a percentage of the total cost, despite previous speculation that Edinburgh's scheme would charge £2 per room per night.
