Since the First Minister Nicola Sturgeon announced hospitality can open from 15th July, there has been a flurry of activity. Not all venues have opened though, some are staggering their dates, while others are taking a rain check until next year. Here is a brief update on venues opening and some that are not.
Obviously it is a snapshot … feel free to send us your opening info and we can add you on. Those with beer gardens will no doubt open on the 15th inside too.
