Tory MSP Donald Cameron even highlighted one such meeting inthat same month, saying:"Great to meet with Carl Thomson from @Airbnb_uk to discuss the impact of the SNP Government's Short Term Let regulations ahead of the review next year."
Commenting, Ewing – the MSP for Inverness and Nairn – said he speaks with business representative bodies of all kinds as it is “a sensible and useful thing to do”.

Ewing, for example, is the landlord of a property in Lossiemouth, but told The National he did not consider it a relevant interest as it is a long-term let and has been for 16 years.
