    What makes Edinburgh different

    Edinburgh trades on strong tourist seasonality (August peak, deep January trough) — cash flow planning matters more here than in year-round-stable markets. Scottish commercial tenancy rules also differ from England, particularly on notice periods and dilapidations.
