A holiday letting agency has criticised the introduction of licensing for short term rentals in Scotland as “poorly thought-through and ill-timed”.
Iain McDonald, onboarding manager at Finest Retreats, said he has been inundated with calls over the past fortnight from current and future owners.
“Scotland is one of our key areas for growth, yet many owners there are either unaware of the new licensing requirement, or aware but confused by the complex application process and specific constraints applicable to each locality.”
