May 22, 2020
Seven Scottish hotels have ceased trading after a major UK travel firm went into administration.
About 2,500 jobs have been lost and 64,000 bookings cancelled with the collapse of Specialist Leisure Group.
The hotel and travel company included well-known coach holiday brands Shearings, Caledonian Travel and Wallace Arnold.
Travel body Abta said the firm had struggled to provide refunds for trips cancelled because of Covid-19.
