Level four restrictions that are in place across mainland Scotland have forced Hogmanay celebrations online. Labour’s culture and tourism spokeswoman Claire Baker urged the government to support the businesses which may be the hardest hit. “Pubs, shops, restaurants and bars have all been impacted by the pandemic. However, not all tourism businesses can simply go online and not everyone can access the internet, she said. “Many other smaller businesses depend on physical footfall and passing traffic to keep their businesses afloat, such as stalls, rides and visitor attractions. “They depend on in-person interaction and are the backbone of our high streets and communities. We cannot risk them falling through the funding cracks.”
