Changing the way we provide visitor information

Responding to changing consumer behaviour.

As part of our strategy to grow the visitor economy, we’re making changes to the way we provide visitor information. With the majority of people planning their holidays online, we’ll focus on influencing visitors at the planning stage before they leave home. 

As a result, our network of information centres (iCentres) will close over the next two years. This will be done via a phased closure programme until the end of March 2026. 

This decision follows significant changes to the way people plan their holidays. This has led to a fall in demand for our iCentres with the majority of people now using online resources and travel specialists to plan and book all aspects of their trips. This includes arranging accommodation and activities before they arrive at their destination.   

We’re responding to this shift through investing our expertise and resources in a digital-first strategy to increase Scotland’s share of global travel. We will target channels we know visitors use to inspire and influence where they go, when they come and what they do, ensuring Scotland is a “must visit, must return” destination.  

We appreciate the integral part our iCentre teams play within many communities. Our staff are our priority throughout this change and we’re discussing with our iCentre team their options. There will be no compulsory redundancies.  

We’re also engaging with stakeholders to discuss local arrangements as we plan the closure programme.  

Our digital-first approach

Our new strategy supports our core purpose to drive the visitor economy and grow its value to Scotland.  It will ensure that we reach more people and influence visitors from Scotland’s key global markets. 

Importantly, our strategy will also support us in attracting visitors throughout the year and across Scotland, promoting lesser-known destinations and encouraging the spread of visitors.   

The way visitors access information and the sphere of influence has widened far beyond in-person and print media to include social media, influencer marketing, online inspiration and online booking. 

TikTok, YouTube, online travel websites and tools like AI are among the ways people now find and plan holiday experiences. 

We also know tour operators and travel agents have an important role to play, with almost two-thirds (64%) of international visitors to Scotland booking as part of a package.  

Scotland’s tourism industry has a proven track record of embracing change. Post-COVID, our collective efforts resulted in a strong recovery of international tourism with an increase in spend by international visitors to Scotland (to £1.5 billion in July - September 2023, up 16% in real terms from the same period in 2019 when adjusted for inflation).  

Together with businesses and our partners, we want to build on that success and ensure that across all areas of our work – marketing, destination development, business advice, insights and events – we prioritise the activities that will deliver for the industry and for Scotland.

Our iCentre team

As mentioned, our staff are our priority. The team have built up a close relationship with tourism businesses across the country and we’d like to thank the industry for their continued support throughout the years.  

The team's expertise and knowledge are a huge asset to VisitScotland, welcoming countless visitors over the years. We’re currently discussing future options with each valued team member.   

We will communicate more information as we finalise the closure programme with our staff and stakeholders.

Scotland’s new hate crime law: what does it cover and why is it controversial?

The government insists the law, coming into force on Monday, is needed to protect victims but critics say it limits freedom of expression

A new law to tackle hate crime in Scotland will be implemented on 1 April, and in the past few weeks there have been escalating concerns about how it will be policed and how it might affect freedom of speech. Scotland’s first minister, Humza Yousaf , has hit back at “disinformation and inaccuracy” being spread about its implementation.

What are the aims of the new hate crime law?

The Scottish government says that Hate Crime and Public Order (Scotland) Act will provide greater protection for victims and communities. It is intended to consolidate existing hate crime laws, but also creates a new offence of “threatening or abusive behaviour which is intended to stir up hatred” on the grounds of age, disability, religion, sexual orientation, transgender identity and variations in sex characteristics. These additional provisions add to longstanding offences relating to stirring up racial hatred, which have been in place across the UK since 1986.

The law, which was passed in 2021 and has taken an unusually long time to come into force, had a rocky passage though Holyrood , with MSPs voting to strengthen freedom of speech provisions after earlier iterations provoked an outcry from religious and arts groups.

Yousaf, who was justice secretary at the time and helped bring the bill through parliament, assured MSPs that it balanced protections for victims of hate crime with safeguarding freedom of expression.

Why does the new law not include misogyny?

There was anger at the time that the bill excluded hatred of women. Even before it was passed, an independent working group, led by Helena Kennedy KC, was established to consider whether adding sex to the list of other protected characteristics or creating a standalone offence would better tackle misogynist abuse.

The group later recommended that the Scottish government introduce a misogyny act to crack down on street harassment and organised online hate. It was included in Yousaf’s programme for government last September but has yet to be published and there is no further information available about its timetabling.

What are the concerns about the new laws and who is raising them?

There is concern that the new measures could be used maliciously against certain groups for expressing their opinions, in particular gender-critical feminists.

The SNP MP Joanna Cherry has said she has no doubt that the new law “will be weaponised by trans rights activists to try to silence, and worse still criminalise, women who do not share their beliefs”.

Some people who disagree with the gender-critical stance of the author and activist JK Rowling have already threatened to lodge complaints about her with Police Scotland from 1 April.

Whether these threats come to pass or not, gender-critical women also raise the prospect of the wider – and hard to quantify – effect of the legislation.

There are worries that allegations of hate crime can be made anonymously – although third-party reporting centres where this can be done have existed for 10 years and are a legacy of the Macpherson report .

The Association of Scottish Police Superintendents has raised serious concerns about the pressure it will put on an already overstretched force, warning that there is “enough anger and hateful bile online to occupy every police officer in Scotland”, given that current guidelines state that all hate crime complaints should be investigated.

The Scottish Police Federation says officers have not received sufficient training in how to mediate such complex territory, citing a “inadequate” two-hour online module.

What assurances have been made?

Yousaf has insisted there is a “very high threshold” for prosecution and a “triple lock” on freedom of expression in the act, including an explicit clause, a “reasonableness” defence, and compatibility with the European convention on human rights.

Adam Tomkins, a former Tory MSP and convener of Holyrood’s justice committee who was closely involved with the passage of the bill in 2021, said: “Asserting that sex is a biological fact or that it is not changed just by virtue of the gender by which someone chooses to identify is not and never can be a hate crime under this legislation.”

Tomkins and others have warned that social media postings and some reporting on the act has wrongly suggested that it is criminalising comments that are merely offensive to others.

While many groups covered by the new act welcome the extension and streamlining of the law, some worrythat the focuson the row about transphobia will deter other communities from reporting hate crimes.

What is a ‘non-crime hate incident’ and how does that fit into the picture?

While supporters of the act insist that the bar for prosecution is set high, this sits uncomfortably with the police policy of recording “hate incidents” that do not meet the criminal threshold and are based on the perception of the victim or a bystander.

Last year, freedom of information requests made by the Guardian revealed a gradual increase in the numbers of these non-crime hate incidents being recorded. The Scottish Conservative MSP Murdo Fraser last week threatened the police with legal action after he was logged for a complaint about a social media post in which he stated: “Choosing to identify as ‘non-binary’ is as valid as choosing to identify as a cat.”

Although this method of recording has been in place for many years as a means of monitoring community tensions (for example to track the levels of race hate in an area), Police Scotland is now reviewing its procedures after a court of appeal ruling stated that a similar policy in England could have a chilling effect on freedom of expression.

JK Rowling is right to scorn Scotland’s new Hate Crime Act

The SNP sees itself as a vanguard of progressive values. But this priggish law is at odds with the notion of a free society.

By Finn McRedmond

The town of Salem, Massachusetts, has become synonymous with the witch hunt, but between the 16th and 18th centuries the Scottish engaged in the persecution of witches at a rate far higher than their American counterparts. Thousands of women were tried, many burned and killed. A mode of censoriousness – and keen policing of the public realm – is written deep into the contours of Scottish history.

This historical episode is a simple explanation for how Scotland earned its reputation for vituperative puritanism. The introduction of the Hate Crime and Public Order Act on 1 April will do little to disabuse the world of this prejudice. The legislation criminalises “threatening or abusive behaviour” intended to stir “hatred” at certain groups, defined by age, disability, sexual orientation, religion and transgender identity. The bar for offence under the act is anything a “reasonable person would consider to be threatening or abusive”. Private conversations held in one’s home are fair game under the act.

Similar proposed legislation in Ireland has been set aside for now: the resignation of Leo Varadkar and more pressing anxieties on immigration have taken precedence. Now, the reception of the Hate Crime Act in Scotland might cause the government to abandon it altogether.

The disquiet at the new measures has been predictable: the Scottish broadcaster Andrew Neil proclaims the law an “Orwellian nightmare”; the Economist suggests it will have a “chilling effect on free speech”. There is general concern that the act will be vulnerable to malicious weaponisation by activist groups, and that it might overwhelm an already beleaguered and underperforming police force. The appointment of 500 so-called hate crime champions and the establishment of “third-party reporting centres” have a distinctly dystopian hum.

Defenders of the measures – namely its progenitors in the Scottish National Party – are insistent that this is mere overreaction to a well-intentioned law. The SNP leader Humza Yousaf has tried to mollify anxieties with the claim that the threshold for prosecution will be “very high”. The Scottish Victims and Community Safety Minister, Siobhian Brown, has offered her own reassurance: “You have to be really threatening and abusive” to be convicted of a crime, she said.

These woolly definitions of what constitutes “hate” do little to ease fears. Even if the rate of prosecutions is low, critics are unified: the mere existence of the legislation will create a climate of self-censorship and snitching, indirect penalisation of dissent and a flattened culture of one-note social liberalism. Exactly what this will mean for Scotland’s artistic production – not least the Edinburgh Festival Fringe – will soon be seen.

At the centre of the debate, as is so often the case, sits JK Rowling. The looming concern for Rowling and other gender-critical feminists is simple: being transgender is listed among the protected characteristics, but there is no similar stipulation for women. “Freedom of speech and belief are at an end in Scotland if the accurate description of biological sex is deemed criminal,” Rowling said, before goading the Scottish police: “I look forward to being arrested when I return to [Scotland],” she posted, after tweeting a series of posts referring to transgender women as men. The Telegraph ’s Suzanne Moore added: “Arrest us all!” Shock-jock journalist Douglas Murray said if they come for Rowling, “then they can come for all of us”. The romance of martyrdom remains a potent force.

The SNP – much like its fellow woke nationalists in Sinn Féin on the far side of the Irish Sea – has nonetheless come to see itself as a vanguard of progressive values. Both parties maintain pretensions of ultimate tolerance while demonstrating a rather superficial commitment to its tenets. In Scotland, this hypocrisy was on full display when Kate Forbes made a bid for the SNP leadership last year and was traduced because of her conservative religious values. The leader of Sinn Féin, Mary Lou McDonald, marched under a banner that read “England get out of Ireland” on St Patrick’s Day in 2019.

In his history of puritanism, Hot Protestants , Michael Winship writes that John Knox – a luminary of the Protestant Reformation in Scotland – believed the role of Christians was to admonish and instruct their fellow citizens. The SNP’s Knoxian influence is stark. But equally as vital to Scotland’s intellectual history is its position as one of the centres of the European Enlightenment.

And so the nation is pulled between two ideological poles: puritanical laws at odds with Enlightenment values; one nation guided by Knox and another by 18th-century ideals of freedom and a rights-based order. It seems the SNP, with its priggish legislation, has not just disrupted the tenets established by the likes of David Hume and Adam Smith: it has taken a sledgehammer to them.

In 2018 Ireland voted by referendum to remove a ban on blasphemy from its constitution. It seemed like a capstone, marking the end of history, and the ultimate assertion of a liberalised country where there could be no possibility of a return to something more insidious. This is a dangerous and ill-founded assumption – in Ireland and elsewhere. In Scotland, the witch hunts continue in the form of a new mode of puritan excess.
