Just a quick defence of the RHS, it brings 190,000 visitors to Edinburgh, it’s been at the Ingliston site since 1960 and it owns the land it’s on. The Ingliston site is used for more than just the RHS and they have looked at different sites in Edinburgh but nothing is available that has the same infrastructure. It would be expensive for the airport to buy the land from the RHS into tens of millions which I believe they still only rent parts from the RHS. Also since the RHS is an Edinburgh Organisation why should it leave Edinburgh because it means some extra time to get to the airport?
