Tourist tax: the answer to overtourism?

As Edinburgh prepares to approve the country’s first tourist tax, the team ask if Scotland can cope with tourism at its current levels. With Martin Geissler and Natalie Higgins.

With Edinburgh on the verge of approving the country’s first tourist tax, can Scotland cope with tourism at its current levels?

We ask Dr Guillem Colom-Montero, an expert in overtourism, and Jo de Sylva, who runs a hospitality business in Inverness.

And Martin and Natalie get BBC weather presenter and meteorologist Calum MacColl's take on Storm Éowyn and the red weather warnings in place for parts of Scotland.
