Coronavirus in Scotland - 'Significant expansion' of testing - BBC News
The latest updates on the coronavirus pandemic in Scotland.
Edinburgh landlords are calling on council officials to waive council tax on properties which are lying empty due to the coronavirus lockdown.

Landlords are unable to conduct viewings of their flats to prospective tenants during the restrictions. Currently they only receive a 10% discount if the flat is empty.

John Davidson, 40, lost both his tenants at his two flats in Edinburgh's Dalry and Stockbridge when the lockdown was announced.

He said: "Normally they are really easy to rent out but I'm not allowed to do viewings just now so I've been left picking up the bills. I'm desperate to rent them out.

“You would think that while we are all in this together the council tax would be waived on empty flats.”
