As Taylor Swift's Edinburgh concerts approach, reports claim the city's homeless are being relocated to make room for incoming tourists. TFN reported that Edinburgh City Council moved unhoused people from hotel accommodations to cities like Glasgow and Aberdeen. The Council denies evictions, stating those recently declared homeless are being sent outside Edinburgh due to limited space.
Councillor Jane Meagher emphasized using tourist accommodations as a last resort. Homeless Network Scotland condemned the situation, calling for urgent housing investment. Edinburgh's housing crisis, declared an emergency last year, intensifies as similar measures are anticipated for the Fringe Festival in August.
