    You know Robertson's mad when he slips into English.

    Robertson, good luck getting the situation resolved, either with corrective action within the Visit Scotland office, or by the community.
    Just curious - was the Visit Scotland staff member who refused you the free handouts one of the idjits who got chastised after last year's debacle?

    In Canada the Canadian Tourism Commission is run by the federal government as well as provincial and municipal tourism. Is there not he same sort of deal in Scotland in a local capacity. this VisitScotland sounds as if it's a business concern to peddle the wares of contributors only.

    Actually, I mentioned this thread and Robertson's complaint to my wife, who is beginning negotiations to have the annual meeting of her society in Scotland and she noted that the Visit Scotland people were not only not helpful but actually discouraging. Nice...very nice.
