If ever a story could be filed under "short sighted", it's this one. VisitScotland (https://www.visitscotland.com) has announced it is going to close all of its remianing Information Centres, some twenty-five of them, by 2026, as it shifts its entire operation online. This follows a previous closure of 39 offices between 2017 and 2019.
