Another week, another warning from Scotland’s hospitality sector. This time, the Scottish Licensed Trade Association has revealed that more than half of pubs, clubs and restaurants think business will get worse this year, with around 14 per cent expecting to close before the end of 2025. It’s a frightening stat for an industry that’s already been through the wringer. Costs keep climbing, customers are spending less and rates relief only goes so far. For many, survival now means cutting staff, shortening hours or shutting the doors altogether. Hospitality is a major employer and a driver of local economies. If we want to keep it alive, government and councils need to act fast, because good intentions won’t pay the bills.

Family-run attraction Farmer Palmers Farm Park has reduced the cost of its Winter Smart Pass to £39, down £10 per person from last year, in a clear show of support for local families. The pass offers more than 170 days of access, including school holidays. The move reflects the values of a business deeply rooted in the community and committed to accessibility, despite broader economic pressures.
