A frustrated restaurant owner has described customers not turning up for their bookings as a huge dampener as she tries to save her business.
Pubs, restaurants and cafes in Scotland reopened on 26 April after a four month-long winter lockdown.
However, Lucy Castle, of the Braided Fig in Aberdeen, said no-shows were proving to be a major issue.
She said dozens of people did not turn up at the weekend, and now deposits would have to be considered.
