The weak pound has been attributed with responsibility for an 18% growth in UK tourism spending while in Scotland foreign spending surged by 27% on last year. We must assume the difference is due to other factors some of which I may have identified in:
North Americans lead surge in Scottish tourism because they feel safer here
‘Outlander links see visitors to historic sites soaring’
Once more we have evidence of the fast-growing strength in the Scottish economy I’ve referred to in earlier pieces.
