Organisers defended the decision, citing insufficient time to prepare and concerns for safety amidst the challenging weather. This marks the first cancellation of the event in nearly 20 years.
Scotland correspondent Connor Gillies reported that the decision has sparked criticism from business leaders, who predict millions of pounds in losses from the cancellation.
