It explores the impacts of STLs from the perspective of residents, hosts, community actors, and local businesses. The Scottish Government appointed The Indigo House Group (Indigo House) to undertake this independent research. A case study approach was adopted with five areas selected to demonstrate different types of communities including urban and rural, and different experiences of STLs. In the urban context these were Edinburgh’s City Centre ward including the world heritage site (Old Town, New Town and Tollcross), and Glasgow’s City Centre including the central business district and residential areas close to the Scottish Exhibition Centre (Merchant City, Anderston and Yorkhill). In the rural context the areas explored were the East Neuk of Fife (excluding St Andrews) as an established coastal holiday home area, Fort William with its expanding Highland tourism centred around outdoor activities, and Eilean a' Chèo (Skye)1 as an established tourism area based around its landscape and island experience. The research involved a mixed method approach of secondary data analysis, short surveys of residents and hosts, and in-depth interviews involving residents, hosts, community actors and local businesses. The amount and increase of short-term lets According to the secondary data analysis, as of May 2019, across Scotland as a whole there were 31,884 active Airbnb listings based on analysis of Airbnb listings data provided by Inside Airbnb2. The research showed that STLs have continued to increase, with a three-fold growth in Scotland between April 2016, when there were just under 10,500 Airbnb listings in Scotland, and approximately 32,000 as at May 2019. It was also found that STLs were geographically focused, illustrated by the fact that the City of Edinburgh and Highland accounted for 50.5% of all Airbnb listings in Scotland and the top seven local authority areas accounted for 75% of all listings. At the opposite end of the scale, five local authority areas had fewer than 100 Airbnbs. Geographic concentration was also illustrated by penetration rates of Airbnbs relative to amount of dwellings: in Scotland overall Airbnb listings were found to account for only 1.2% of dwellings, but in Skye this rose to 18.6% (the highest penetration rate by ward in Scotland), Edinburgh’s City Centre ward 16.7%, Fort William 9.7%, the East Neuk of Fife 5.6%, and Glasgow City Centre was 3.2%. The secondary data analysis also showed that the type of Airbnb listings varied considerably by area. Across Scotland as a whole, 69.2% of active Airbnb listings were for 1 Throughout the report ‘Skye’ has been used to refer to the Highland Council ward of Eilean a' Chèo. 2 The secondary data analysis undertaken for this research relates to Airbnb listings only. Airbnb does not constitute the entire STLs market, since some landlords do not use this platform. However, the combined qualitative and quantitative research undertaken for this study suggests that Airbnb comprises a very substantial part of the STLs market. The data used in research was sourced from Airbnb.co.uk, based on listings online as of May 2019, and provided to the research team by Inside Airbnb, and then cleaned and filtered. Full details are provided in Appendix 1. i entire homes or apartments. The highest figure by local authority was in Dumfries and Galloway (83.5%) and the lowest in Midlothian (47.8%) – the only area in Scotland where private rooms were the main type of Airbnb listing. At ward levels the picture was very different with the highest proportion of entire homes in Scotland being in the East Neuk of Fife (88.8% STLs were entire properties). The primary research undertaken confirmed the secondary data analysis, showing that in all areas, the amount of STLs had increased. Research participants were most likely to say (with the exception of some hosts) that STLs had increased significantly over the last three years in Edinburgh, Fort William and Skye. All participants saw the increase in STLs as being associated with the increase in tourism, albeit the type of tourism varied slightly by area. Increasing international tourist numbers were identified in Edinburgh, Fort William and Skye, and to a lesser extent in the East Neuk of Fife combined with its traditional Scottish and UK visitor base. There was increasing Scottish and UK event tourism in Glasgow. The experience of most participants suggested that STLs have served to extend the tourism season, and change the type of stays to short (one to three night stays) compared to the more traditional one-week self-catering offer. Financial drivers were found to be the key reason for offering STLs. Nearly half of all host survey respondents (49%) saw STLs as a good business opportunity, and 11% also indicated that STLs were a better commercial prospect than long-term lets. Most research participants also saw the ease of entry, and lack of regulation of the STLs sector when compared to long-term residential rented housing and traditional visitor accommodation, as a key incentive to enter this market. The extent of home sharing When contemplating the impacts of STLs on neighbourhoods and housing it is critical to understand what type of STLs are actually being offered. The key question here is whether STLs are home shared (private rooms or shared rooms) with a resident present, home shared entire properties with a resident occasionally absent, or entire property STLs with an absentee landlord. The secondary data analysis presented in Chapter 3, confirms that the majority of Scottish Airbnb listings are entire properties (69.2%) with most of the balance being private rooms (30.3%) and only 0.4% being shared rooms. Of the five study areas, the highest proportion of entire property lets is not surprisingly in the established holiday home area of the East Neuk of Fife (89%). This is followed by the two city areas of Edinburgh and Glasgow (79% and 78% respectively). The rural areas of Fort William and Skye show higher proportions of private rooms (33% and 38% respectively, compared to 30% for Scotland as a whole). While this does not provide evidence on the extent to which entire properties are being removed from residential markets, the survey results from host respondents indicated that a notable proportion of the listings had previously been occupied by an owner-occupier (21%) or had been on a long-term lease in the private rented sector (15%)3. A higher proportion of hosts also indicated that they let out homes that were not their primary 3 Multiple choice survey question ii residence (62%), and a smaller proportion stated that they let out a room or their home when they lived there, or were away for short or extended periods (47%)4. The vast majority of hosts also indicated that they let their property or rooms for more than 90 days (81%). Most hosts (76%) had only one Airbnb listing, but these listings accounted for less than half (45%) of the total listings in Scotland. A very small proportion of hosts (0.3% of hosts) owned, or acted as agents for a much larger proportion of total listings (13% of listings), with larger STLs portfolios ranging from 16 to over 100 properties. Four hosts with portfolios of more than 100 properties accounted approximately 8% of all listings (nearly 2,500 listings in total). The qualitative research gave further insights based on the experience of participants. In the established holiday home area of the East Neuk of Fife, the indication from most participants was that the majority of the STLs were secondary lets rather than a room or property being shared. In both Edinburgh and Glasgow city centres, qualitative evidence supported the quantitative evidence on the profile of STLs where most are entire properties, and in Edinburgh City Centre most participants also suggested that the STLs were mainly full-time entire property lets, rather than shared private rooms or shared entire properties.

The Highlands is the area north and west of the Highland Boundary Fault (from Arran and Helensburgh on the west coast stretching across to Stonehaven in the east). It is the uppermost part of Scotland (made up of six smaller regions) and home to famous attractions such as Ben Nevis and Loch Ness, towns (notably Fort William, Nairn and Aviemore) and the “City of the Highlands” - Inverness. Traditionally visitors wishing to experience the beautiful Scottish outdoors will travel to the Highlands to visit the scenic lochs, tall snow capped, mountains, vast glens, ancient monuments as well as the beaches and bays along North Scotland’s iconic coastline. Seals, puffins, whales and dolphins are often spotted on these shores. You may want to try to catch a glimpse of the infamous Aurora Borealis (the Northern Lights), walk amongst the The Highlands varied wildlife and flora or appreciate the breath-taking Scottish landscapes as part of your Highland experience.

  • BCS Paper 2017/74 2018 Review of UK Parliament Constituencies Draft
    Boundary Commission for Scotland BCS Paper 2017/74 2018 Review of UK Parliament Constituencies Draft Revised Proposals for Argyll and Bute, Highland and Moray council areas Action required 1. The Commission is invited to consider responses to the initial and secondary consultation on its Initial Proposals and whether it wishes to make changes to its proposals for Argyll and Bute, Highland and Moray council areas. Background 2. These constituency designs are based on a UK electoral quota of 74,769.2 electors and parliamentary electorate figures from the December 2015 Electoral Register. The electorate of constituencies has to be within 5% of the electoral quota, namely no fewer than 71,031 and no more than 78,507, unless the area of a constituency exceeds 12,000 square kilometres. No constituency may exceed 13,000 square kilometres. 3. The total electorate in the 3 council areas is 307,418, giving a theoretical entitlement to 4.11 constituencies. It is possible, therefore, to design 4 constituencies, exactly covering the combined council areas, the electorates of which are within the limits set by the legislation. 4. The Commission's Initial Proposals for this area comprise 4 constituencies which exactly cover the combined extent of these 3 council areas. A map of the constituencies is at Appendix A.

  • Population Change in Lochaber 2001 to 2011
    The Highland Council Agenda 5 Item Lochaber Area Committee Report LA/2/14 No 27 February 2014 Population Change in Lochaber 2001 To 2011 Report by Director of Planning and Development Summary This report presents early results from the 2011 Census, giving local information on the number and ages of people living within Lochaber. It compares these figures with those from 2001 to show that the population has “aged”, and that there is a large number of people who are close to retirement age. The population of Lochaber has grown by 6.1% (compared to the Highland average of 11.1%) with an increase in both Wards, and at a local level in 18 out of 27 data zones. Local population growth is strongly linked to the building of new homes. 1. Background 1.1. Publication of the results from the 2011 Census began in December 2012, and the most recent published in November and December 2013 gave the first detailed results for “census output areas”, the smallest areas for which results are published. These detailed results have enabled preparation of the first 2011 Census profiles and these are available for Wards, Associated School Groups, Community Councils and Settlement Zones on the Highland Council’s website at: http://www.highland.gov.uk/yourcouncil/highlandfactsandfigures/census2011.htm 1.2. This report returns to some earlier results and looks at how the age profile of the Lochaber population and the total numbers have changed at a local level (datazones). The changes for Highland are summarised in Briefing Note 57 which is attached at Appendix 1.

  • The Highland Council- Planning Performance Framework Comhairle Na Gàidhealtachd - Frèam Dèanadas Dealbhaidh
    The Highland Council- Planning Performance Framework Comhairle na Gàidhealtachd - Frèam Dèanadas Dealbhaidh September 2014 Planning Performance Framework Frèam Dèanadas Dealbhaidh 1 Foreword Welcome to our Planning Performance Framework, which sets out the key highlights of our performance during 2013/14. This was a busy year for the planning service, with a challenging programme of development planning work as well as Highland Council being one of the busiest local authorities in terms of numbers of planning applications being determined. I am pleased with the progress made in implementing improvements set out in last years’ service improvement plan. Notably our Enforcement service has been supported and strengthened, and the way in which customers can contact us, and get updates to their complaints has been vastly improved. We have also achieved performance improvements in terms of reduced timescales for local developments, and have implemented processing agreements for the majority of major planning applications. Improvements have also been made to the speed of dealing with legal agreements, meaning that legacy cases can now be dealt with more effectively. Engagement with key stakeholders has also improved, and a training programme with community councils, focus groups with agents and an effective training programme for our planning team have all been useful and welcomed. This Planning Performance Framework sets out the service improvement plan for this year and we are working hard at implementing these. I hope to show further progress made next year.

  • Assc Sectoral Survey Into Self-Caterer Access to Covid-19 Business Support
    Sectoral Survey into Self-Caterer Access to Covid-19 Business Support Week 3 Association of Scotland’s Self-Caterers Supporting self-catering in Scotland ASSC SECTORAL SURVEY INTO SELF-CATERER ACCESS TO COVID-19 BUSINESS SUPPORT Introduction • The Association of Scotland’s Self-Caterers (ASSC) is the leading source of knowledge on short-term letting and holiday homes in Scotland. The ASSC conducted a Scotland-wide sectoral survey relating to issues concerning eligibility and access to the various packages of economic support from the Scottish and UK Governments in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. • The online survey elicited 629 responses from self-caterers in Scotland, from both ASSC members and non-ASSC members alike, in 31/32 of Scotland’s local authorities. • The results offer valuable insights into the experiences and problems faced by Scottish self-catering operators in accessing the support required to safeguard their business in a sector that has been estimated to contribute over £723m each year to the Scottish economy. Survey Overview • The ASSC ran a third round of their online survey consisting of 18 questions. This was publicised via ASSC newsletters, as well as on the ASSC’s social media pages on Twitter and Facebook. • In 24 hours, the survey generated 629 responses. 260 were from members of the ASSC and 369 responses were from non-members. Summary It is hoped that the survey results will continue to inform discussion regarding the support required for self-catering operators in Scotland to ensure that no sector is left behind by government, as well as what changes are necessary to protect livelihoods in what has been a key component part of Scotland’s tourism offering for a generation.

I had always wanted to visit Orkney because my great-grandmother, Isabella Allan, was born on the tiny island of Stronsay in 1843.
