Sir,
I refer to your correspondent Mr MacGregor’s comments about facilities on Arran for motorhomes and his comparison with such across the English Channel.
Firstly, his five euro payment is probably the Kulturförderabgabe (culture tax also known as the bed or cure tax), a nasty little earner which most of our, soon not to be, European partners use to swell local coffers as Mr MacGregor points out. But it is not just levied on those poor people with motorhomes – all visitors have to pay it in one way or another and it is payable for every day of your stay.
