Hundreds of pubs will finally pull their first pints of the year tomorrow.
The moment will not come too soon for bar owners or thirsty customers.
As reported by
The Morning Advertiser (MA), on 23 March members of Scottish Parliament passed The Tied Pubs (Scotland) Bill heralding the creation of a statutory pubs code and an independent adjudicator role.
The Bill was originally put forward by Labour MSP Neil Bibby in an effort to ensure tenants in brewery-owned pubs are not bound to what are seen to be unfair deals and gives around 700 Scottish tied pubs similar rights to those in England and Wales.
Provisions set out will cover all the tied pubs in Scotland owned by Admiral Taverns, Greene King/Belhaven, Hawthorn, Trust Inns, Punch and Star Pubs and Bars.
