Nottingham? The City of Edinburgh Council is introducing a five per cent visitor levy for overnight guests in paid accommodation from July next year. The whole city has a hidden network of caves beneath it, which have been in use since Roman times. Nottingham City Museums Service has just launched a £30 'adult rover ticket' under the pay-once-visit-all-year scheme, that enables holders to visit Nottingham Castle, Wollaton Hall and Newstead Abbey. I'm not sure taking from the tourists to subsidise the city would win approval from Nottingham’s most celebrated son.
