Speaking to TTG, owner and founder of Scotland’s LAH Travel, Linda Hill Miller, said despite November being a "historically quiet" month, the agency has yet to see a downturn in business. 

"It is very encouraging," she said. "This year we’ve had our best 10 months in our 20 years of business. We are up to eight staff, which is more than I have ever had, and we can, and want, to take on more. We are really positive about everything at the moment."

She also urged the industry to "stand up and be counted for" with the government amidst the continued uncertainty around the country’s leadership.
