Outdoor hospitality, such as pavement cafes and beer gardens, will re-open from this morning. The Scottish government insists that its two metre social distancing guidance should be adhered to and the First Minister encouraged those visiting to ‘socialise safely’.
However, as they open, bars will not look like how we remember. Here are some pictures to show what Edinburgh’s Corn Exchange will look like when it opens today.
