Licencing

The Scottish Government introduced a new mandatory licensing scheme for Short-term Lets (STL) in Scotland. This includes holiday cottages, B&B’s, guest houses, rooms within a home and unconventional accommodation such as cabins, pods and yurts. This scheme became fully implemented from 1 October 2023 therefore anyone wishing to operate an STL, who hasn’t already submitted an application, cannot accept any guests or bookings until they have been granted a licence to do so.
