They will tak £3 pounds aff ya fur each an every booking ya mak through them…

AND they will tak 10% aff o’ the guest hoose/B&B,/hotel ya arr booking intae…

Last year we paid them over £800 tae be a member an advertize wi’ them

… and they sent us £300 o business…

O’ that £300- they took anither £30 more fraim us….

Ya can use their website tae find guid places tae stay… jus dinnae book through them….

When ya fin a guid place- look up it’s ain website in google… then book directly

wi the guest hoose/B&B/hotel…

Can we get this ever-so-important bit of information put in a sticky somewhere? maybe a "What to do to stay in Scotland" post?
