This should have been a big weekend for the hospitality sector in Scotland. The last Friday before Christmas is traditionally one of the busiest nights of the year, with revellers heading to restaurants and pubs for the sector’s ‘Black Friday’.  Work nights out and office parties are moving online.

Stephen is asking: It's normally the busiest weekend for Christmas socialising on this Black Friday - how different will it look for you?
