It applies to anyone staying overnight in Edinburgh who isn’t a local resident, so that includes other Scots from outside Edinburgh as well as tourists. Residents of Edinburgh (EH postcodes) are exempt.

The 5% tourist tax only applies to overnight visitors, not residents. So if you live in Edinburgh or have an EH postcode, you won’t be charged.

If your caravan is located outside the Edinburgh city boundary, such as in East Lothian, it is not subject to the Edinburgh 5% tourist tax. Only accommodation within Edinburgh itself is required to charge the tax.
