Welcome to Monday's Reporting Scotland. Tonight on your national | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
news... The former Scottish athletic star | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
Liz McColgan has been found not guilty of assaulting her estranged | :00:18. | :00:27. | |

husband. Later in the programme... | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
As the festive season approaches, are wallets staying tightly shut? | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
Christmas is coming, the lights are on but where's the retail rush? The | :00:40. | :00:44. | |
numbers visiting high streets and shopping centres take a nose-dive. | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
It's a bumpy ride in Scotland. We've got more potholes per mile | :00:47. | :00:54. | |
than anywhere else in Britain. Rock climbing started in Scotland | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
one hundred and forty years ago. Now intrepid BBC filmmakers have | :00:57. | :01:03. | |
decided to re-create that first ascent. | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
The former world champion athlete Liz McColgan has been found not | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
guilty of assaulting her estranged husband. A court heard today how | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
the couple had fallen out over a solicitor's letter she received | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
from Peter McColgan suggesting they should sell their family home. If | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
convicted, it would have spelt the end of the Olympic silver | :01:19. | :01:29. | |

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 131 seconds | :01:29. | :03:41. | |
There was bad news for retailers today as figures suggested that the | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
number of people passing through Scotland's shopping areas has | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
fallen by 9% on last year. The Scottish Retail Consortium has | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
called it a nosedive and with just over a month to go until Christmas, | :03:50. | :03:59. | |
:04:00. | :04:01. | ||
retailers will be hoping for a This year, a lot of bang, but not | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
so many box. The man Scottish consumers spent last month was | :04:05. | :04:12. | |
lower than the year before by 0.1%. Inflation soared by 5%. But for is | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
another measure, the number of people walking past the shop doors. | :04:16. | :04:23. | |
It has nosedived by 9%, three times the UK rate of fall. Fewer people | :04:23. | :04:28. | |
are going shopping. Why? There is less money around and prices keep | :04:28. | :04:33. | |
going up. It is very worrying to see these figures so close to | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
Christmas. Retailers have had a very tough time up until now. Lots | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
of them are investing an enormous amount of hope into Christmas. What | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
they really want to see his spending going up, which requires a | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
shopper numbers to go up. There are other changes. We are shifting our | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
spending on line. That is good news for Amazon's Scottish distribution | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
centres. And we are spending earlier because of last year's snow. | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
Today is manic Monday, the first of two spikes inactivity. If the | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
system works, then people will be increasingly attracted to doing | :05:09. | :05:15. | |
that, rather than going into the shops. And you can prize compare | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
online. Price is a driver during a recession and going online maybe | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
the solution for many. The big growth area this Christmas could be | :05:24. | :05:29. | |
around smart phones. One scan of a barcode on this and I can get price | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
comparison online and on the High Street to find out where the best | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
deals are. Between technology and caution on the economy, the | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
consumer is in charge. I am usually quite lucky at Christmas and I | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
normally get bargains. I try to get quite a bit online. It makes it | :05:45. | :05:52. | |
easier. You can shop around. I just give my wife my cheque book and she | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
spends it! As one Glasgow Shop founder this morning, another way | :05:56. | :06:01. | |

new deal to sell their prawns closer to home instead of abroad. | :06:21. | :06:25. | |

Tour finals in London, after losing out to David Ferrer. | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
Her murder trial has heard how the badly decomposed body of a toddler | :06:44. | :06:52. | |
was found in a top. -- in a cot. There was a terrible smell in the | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
house and a child had been dead for some time. His mother denies | :06:55. | :07:01. | |
murdering him and pretending he was still alive. | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
The jury heard today what a paramedic and police found in his | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
flat in Paisley when called to it in March last year. Raymond Kelly, | :07:10. | :07:15. | |
a paramedic, was first to arrive at 6:20pm. He told the court that the | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
first thing he noticed was the smell. They did not seem to be any | :07:19. | :07:24. | |
electricity. The place was in darkness. He said he went into the | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
room and saw a baby. He quickly realised there had been a death. He | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
called the police. The police constable that derive told the | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
court that there was a god awful smell. I saw the child lying in the | :07:37. | :07:42. | |
cot and I knew we had been dead for some time. The body was quite badly | :07:42. | :07:47. | |
decomposed. Andrew Dunn was a detective | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
sergeant with the police at the time. He was the crime scene | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
manager that night. He told the court when the end cake is came to | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
take the body to York Hill, that he had to be carried out on the | :07:58. | :08:04. | |
mattress. -- when the undertakers came. He told the court about the | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
unkempt and dirty flat. There were open milk cartons, alcohol bottles | :08:08. | :08:13. | |
and clothes strewn around the floor. The police constable said there was | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
a pile of soiled nappies sitting in a child's bath. The court also | :08:18. | :08:23. | |
heard from the health visitor Linda Flanagan. She became involved with | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
the mother of the child in August 2009. She told the court that she | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
had repeatedly tried to visit her of but on each occasion there was | :08:31. | :08:36. | |
nobody in. At the beginning of March, 2010, she officially | :08:36. | :08:44. | |
notified social services of her concerns. The mother sobbed loudly | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
in the dock. She denies murdering her son and all the charges against | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
her, including attempting to defeat justice, by pretending to a number | :08:52. | :09:01. | |
of people that Declan was still alive. The trial continues. | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
Scotland has more pot holes per mile than anywhere else in Britain, | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
according to an army of pothole hunters. It is the result of | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
research carried out by members of the motoring organisation. Many | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
councils have increased spending on road repairs after two severe | :09:17. | :09:26. | |
:09:27. | :09:27. | ||
winters. They are the bane of every driver's life. The cause of bumpy | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
journeys and damage to cars. At this garage in Aberdeen, they are | :09:31. | :09:37. | |
fixing more pothole damage than ever. This brings, the wheels are | :09:38. | :09:46. | |
damaged, and this year is much worse. -- springs. You are talking | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
about hundreds of vehicles compared to last year. Now a survey suggests | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
that the problem in Scotland is worse than anywhere in the UK. | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
According to the Automobile Association, are a typical stretch | :09:58. | :10:03. | |
of road, there could be 35 pot holes or defects, compared to the | :10:03. | :10:07. | |
UK average of 28. This was no surprise to some Edinburgh taxi | :10:07. | :10:14. | |
drivers. The repair to my black cab have been more than double in the | :10:14. | :10:20. | |
last two years. Sometimes when we were put 12 hour shift, then we | :10:20. | :10:27. | |
feel sore in our back. -- when we work a 12 hour shift. The roads in | :10:27. | :10:33. | |
Edinburgh are bad. Councils are responsible for the vast bulk of | :10:33. | :10:38. | |
our roads. Two severe winters stretched resources and many up to | :10:38. | :10:43. | |
the amount they spent on repairs, but money is tight. With the | :10:43. | :10:48. | |
pressure on council budgets throughout Scotland, we need to | :10:48. | :10:56. | |
make hard decisions. For example, we have done over 8000 pot holes in | :10:56. | :11:01. | |
the last financial year. Battling pot holes can seemed | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
never-ending. Almost as soon as one gets repaired, there is a report of | :11:05. | :11:10. | |
a new one somewhere else. But the number of potholes can beg | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
legitimate questions about how much is spent trying to maintain roads | :11:13. | :11:19. | |
before they deteriorate. The worse the road is to begin with, the more | :11:19. | :11:26. | |
likely pot holes are to form. Now some of the other stories | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
across Scotland. Two students at Forth Valley College's Falkirk | :11:30. | :11:37. | |
campus have the dreaded tuberculosis. The cases are | :11:37. | :11:46. | |
believed to be linked. -- have contracted tuberculosis. Family | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
members and students will be given precautionary checks. | :11:50. | :11:57. | |
Jobs will be created in Moray. Capita is opening a call centre in | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
Forres. Staff will be working on behalf of an energy company and | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
will start work in February. Europe's biggest lottery winners | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
have given �1 million to the Scottish National Party. Chris and | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
Colin Weir from Largs say that the gift from the �161 million winnings | :12:12. | :12:17. | |
is about more than party politics. It is the largest donation in the | :12:17. | :12:26. | |
SNP's history and will help to fund their independence referendum. | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
A unique link giving employment and hope has been forged between Ghana | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
and Greenock. It is based on a naturally occurring nut, harvested | :12:34. | :12:41. | |
by the poorest people in Africa. The project has helped them and | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
also recovering drug addicts in Inverclyde. | :12:44. | :12:49. | |
It is about as far from the heat of Africa as you could imagine. From | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
high in the hills above Greenock, comes hope for impoverished women | :12:54. | :13:00. | |
and children. Shea butter, the product of a wild growing nut in | :13:00. | :13:05. | |
Ghana, is being turned into Premium soap and cosmetics. It provides | :13:05. | :13:13. | |
fair trade income for people in Ghana. Women have been earning | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
Sunday 5p per day. When they work with us, that income goes up to one | :13:17. | :13:23. | |
pound 50. -- 75p per day. With us, that income goes up to one pound | :13:23. | :13:28. | |
50p. And they are not selling their children into bonded labour and | :13:28. | :13:37. | |
child trafficking. We are changing To gathering there not only give | :13:37. | :13:43. | |
the local women and income for a short time. Now, 1000 women turned | :13:43. | :13:48. | |

The charity plows products back in two Ghana and provides a school for | :13:53. | :13:58. | |
the local community. There is a benefit for Scotland, to. Back in | :13:58. | :14:03. | |
Greenland, recovering -- Greenock recovering drug addicts make the | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
shea butter. They receive training and employment vital if they are to | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
stay drug-free. The process has given us the opportunity to get | :14:12. | :14:17. | |
back into employment. It has given us confidence. It has shown us new | :14:17. | :14:23. | |
skills to get back out there and back into society. If you don't | :14:24. | :14:33. | |
:14:34. | :14:36. | ||
have a job, nobody will touch you. It will give us a bit of money. | :14:36. | :14:41. | |
That will give us something to focus on and a normal life. A new | :14:41. | :14:46. | |
factory will provide 20 jobs giving employment hope in Ghana and | :14:46. | :14:51. | |
Greenock. And from shea butter to prongs. | :14:51. | :14:56. | |
West coast prawn fishermen say a significant deal to supply a major | :14:56. | :15:01. | |
supermarket chain will allow them to get rid of their dependency on | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
unstable markets. From this week, west-coast Proms are going to be | :15:05. | :15:14. | |
sold at hundreds of Sainsbury's stores. The search for fresh | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
Scottish Proms can be fruitless. It is seen as a travesty that as the | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
West coast's finest shellfish is exported but then bars of landing | :15:23. | :15:28. | |
here, customers are left to buy an inferior product imported from as | :15:28. | :15:36. | |
far away from Bangladesh and Thailand. It is incredible. | :15:36. | :15:44. | |
Compared to our stuff, which is just on the doorstep. It is a far | :15:44. | :15:50. | |
tastier product. There are no rubbish Scottish Proms. They're all | :15:50. | :15:55. | |
good quality, succulent and delicious. In a unique deal struck | :15:55. | :16:00. | |
between the Sainsbury's supermarket chain and local fishermen, fresh | :16:00. | :16:03. | |
supplies of these are set to become available at fish counters | :16:03. | :16:07. | |
throughout its UK stores. I am hoping it will bring a bit of | :16:07. | :16:13. | |
stability to the prices. For too long, they have been there too low. | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
We were used to have a big fleet of boats to get them, but there's | :16:17. | :16:23. | |
hardly any left. That as many been down to poor prices. The contract | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
is a godsend for struggling West coast fishing communities. | :16:27. | :16:31. | |
Fishermen from here can reduce the dependency they have on overseas | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
markets. It is also voted for offer them some protection from an | :16:35. | :16:40. | |
unsteady eurozone. There is obviously tremendous economic | :16:40. | :16:45. | |
volatility and currency volatility. We are hoping that the immediate | :16:45. | :16:51. | |
benefit will be a degree of price stability, which allows the crews | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
and the boats themselves to plan their futures better. Sainsbury's | :16:55. | :16:59. | |
bosses say they are delighted to be involved in a partnership which | :16:59. | :17:01. | |
gives quality to customers while supporting the Scottish fishing | :17:01. | :17:11. | |
:17:11. | :17:12. | ||
industry. And now the sport. | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
The Scottish Premier League has secured a new live TV deal worth | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
�50 million more than the previous one. Sky and ESPN have renewed | :17:20. | :17:25. | |
their skirt partnership with the league for a further five years. | :17:25. | :17:30. | |
That may help in the search for a new sponsor. | :17:30. | :17:34. | |
Despite what you might sometimes hear and see, the Scottish Premier | :17:34. | :17:40. | |
League can actually be quite good. Sky and ESPN certainly thinks so. | :17:40. | :17:44. | |
They are committed to a new five- year deal with the League. The | :17:44. | :17:49. | |
previous one struck three years ago was worth �65 million. Today, at | :17:49. | :17:52. | |
the Scottish Premier League announced that deal would be cut | :17:52. | :18:01. | |
short to be replaced by a new The SPL cannot go into the | :18:01. | :18:06. | |
financial detail, but I understand it is worth �85 million, an | :18:06. | :18:11. | |
increase of �50 million on the previous deal. Those TV deals are | :18:11. | :18:15. | |
on the decrees, so that is pretty good business. The SPL hope that it | :18:15. | :18:21. | |
will help them attract a new sponsor. I think this is | :18:21. | :18:24. | |
fundamental to the type of sponsorship deal and it puts us in | :18:24. | :18:28. | |
good shape. We have seen increases in viewer numbers on to be over the | :18:28. | :18:32. | |
past few years. There is a real interest in Scottish football and | :18:32. | :18:38. | |
the SPL, and a thing that has been reflected in the announcement today. | :18:38. | :18:44. | |
Mr Doncaster says that viewing figures are by 28% following the | :18:44. | :18:49. | |
recent deal, but there is some doubt about whether that is due to | :18:49. | :18:53. | |
the SPL. If you are signing up to a Sky package, you are doing it to | :18:53. | :18:58. | |
get the English games. You will watch the Scottish football as well, | :18:58. | :19:04. | |
but would you get that deal if you did not get the English football? | :19:04. | :19:09. | |
Probably not. It is misleading to say that Scottish football is | :19:09. | :19:16. | |
attractive purely based on their viewing figures. The clubs have | :19:16. | :19:21. | |
been persuaded not to pursue their plans to launch their own channel. | :19:21. | :19:25. | |
Andy Murray's future at the ATP World Tour finals hangs in the | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
balance. He aggravated a groin injury after he was defeated by | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
David Ferrer. He will decide whether he is fit enough to carry | :19:33. | :19:39. | |
on in the tournament. We report from the O2 Arena in London. | :19:39. | :19:44. | |
A warm welcome from the London crowd. They watched their man score | :19:44. | :19:51. | |
an early lead in game three. But with him serving badly, he allowed | :19:51. | :19:55. | |
David Ferrer to break right back. To a very good game from the | :19:55. | :19:59. | |
Spaniard but too many mistakes from Andy Murray. He did find some | :19:59. | :20:05. | |
rhythm. But the Spaniard was digging in and claimed the first | :20:05. | :20:09. | |
set, while the Scot was left frustrated and hurting in more ways | :20:09. | :20:15. | |
than one. The massage seemed to work wonders because to do than | :20:15. | :20:20. | |
instant advantage in the second set. -- he took an instant advantage. | :20:20. | :20:25. | |
But to let that advantage slip again. He found his way through the | :20:25. | :20:30. | |
second time, but David Ferrer went one better, getting his first ever | :20:30. | :20:40. | |
:20:40. | :20:43. | ||
victory against the spot on hard court surface. -- this spot. | :20:43. | :20:48. | |
problem with my groin. We will have to see how it goes for tomorrow. I | :20:48. | :20:54. | |
will decide tomorrow whether raw not I can keep playing. Injury | :20:54. | :20:58. | |
permitting, he will play either Novac Djokovic or Thomas Berdych on | :20:58. | :21:02. | |
Wednesday. Gary Anderson's dream of winning | :21:02. | :21:07. | |
his first ever grandson of darts has fallen short. He lost out to 15 | :21:07. | :21:11. | |
times World Champion Phil The Power Taylor in Wolverhampton. It was a | :21:11. | :21:15. | |
one-sided final but Garrett Anderson received a �60,000 | :21:15. | :21:21. | |
consolation prize for reaching the last two. -- Gary Anderson. | :21:21. | :21:31. | |

:21:47. | :21:47. | ||
Congratulations to them. -- These days, huge numbers of people | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
around the world climb for sport. But just who were the first people | :21:51. | :21:54. | |
to climb, not just because they had to, but for the sheer fun of it? A | :21:55. | :21:57. | |
BBC documentary reveals that 140 years ago, a team of young Scots | :21:58. | :22:00. | |
climbed across to the Stack of Handa, on the Sutherland coast | :22:00. | :22:02. | |
which was, quite possibly, the world's first ascent. Our | :22:03. | :22:08. | |
correspondent David Henderson takes up the story. | :22:08. | :22:18. | |
:22:18. | :22:21. | ||
Take care! Setting off across the abyss. Scotland's leading rock | :22:21. | :22:27. | |
climb or takes his life in his hands. He swings out towards the | :22:27. | :22:34. | |
cliff. It is a massive land work. It really is the start of it. It is | :22:34. | :22:36. | |
the first time recreational climbing has been recorded in our | :22:36. | :22:42. | |
country. It predates anything in the Lake District. Rock climbing | :22:42. | :22:48. | |
started in Scotland. 140 years ago, three young men arrived here by | :22:48. | :22:56. | |
boat. They cross from the North tip of Lewis. They came to climb and | :22:56. | :23:05. | |
the stack just for fun. It must have been one of the greatest. It | :23:05. | :23:09. | |
was certainly mentioned in my childhood. There was a lot of | :23:09. | :23:14. | |
competition and aggression between and the people of Lewis and of | :23:14. | :23:22. | |
Sutherland. The men of Louis would construct themselves in this way | :23:22. | :23:28. | |
and tell others to beat that. today, this is an amazing feat. In | :23:28. | :23:33. | |
the 1870s, it was much more. A moment in history when the sport of | :23:33. | :23:38. | |
climbing was born. Climbing has changed a lot since that epic first | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
ascent. The equipment is better, and as a sport, it is enjoyed by | :23:42. | :23:48. | |
millions of people around the world. At its heart, it remains the same. | :23:48. | :23:51. | |
All you need is a sense of adventure and a wild dream. For | :23:51. | :23:57. | |
many years, this kind was ignored and forgotten. Now, it can take its | :23:57. | :24:02. | |
place as the first of its kind. And you can see more on that on BBC Two | :24:02. | :24:12. | |

Scotland tomorrow night at 7pm. Let's get the weather forecast now | :24:15. | :24:23. | |
Things are going to get more changeable by the middle of the | :24:23. | :24:28. | |
week. The seething, there is a lot of dry weather initially, although | :24:28. | :24:32. | |
we will start to see an area of more persistent rain edging and | :24:32. | :24:36. | |
across western and southern Scotland. It will extend across the | :24:36. | :24:40. | |
country. We will see some heavy bursts of rain. There will be some | :24:40. | :24:43. | |
mist and fog patches developing over the higher ground of the | :24:43. | :24:47. | |
Southern Highlands. By the end of the night, we will see clearer | :24:47. | :24:50. | |
conditions developing along the west coast. The temperatures will | :24:50. | :24:55. | |
reflect that. Further East, under that rain, that temperatures will | :24:55. | :25:00. | |
be as high as nine degrees. Tomorrow starts off with this dry, | :25:00. | :25:05. | |
clear weather in the West, which turns to sunshine once we see first | :25:05. | :25:09. | |
flight. Effectively, it chases that rain away as it pushes the way into | :25:09. | :25:13. | |
the North Sea. Some lovely spells of sunshine developing for western | :25:13. | :25:16. | |
Scotland during the morning. If we take a closer look at tomorrow | :25:16. | :25:24. | |
afternoon, for the Inner Hebrides and the south-west, at a beautiful | :25:24. | :25:29. | |
day. Since buying -- fine spells of sunshine. Nor Sir, it will be | :25:29. | :25:36. | |
similar. Along the North, a lot of sunshine to be found. Rain and | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
cloud in Shetland. That could be the legacy of the morning's cloud | :25:40. | :25:44. | |
and rain. But that will clear during the afternoon. For the | :25:44. | :25:49. | |
eastern coastal areas towards the border, dry with bright spells of | :25:49. | :25:53. | |
sunshine. Temperatures of ten Celsius. During the afternoon, we | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
will start to see a bit of a change with cloud increasing across the | :25:57. | :26:01. | |
Outer Hebrides. A strong south- westerly wind develops across the | :26:01. | :26:05. | |
Outer Hebrides. For the outlook, this weather front will straddle | :26:05. | :26:10. | |
the country on Wednesday, bringing outbreaks of rain for western and | :26:10. | :26:14. | |
southern Scotland. Here is that frame. It will be heavier cross and | :26:14. | :26:16. | |
North-West with light from the south-west. Little gets through to | :26:16. | :26:22. | |
Now, just before seven o'clock, a summary of tonight's top stories... | :26:22. | :26:25. | |
Milly Dowler's mother has described how she believes she was duped by a | :26:25. | :26:28. | |
phone hacker into believing her teenage daughter was alive. She | :26:28. | :26:31. | |
told the Leveson Inquiry into press ethics about the moment when, after | :26:31. | :26:34. | |
days of finding Millie's voice mail full, she was suddenly able to | :26:34. | :26:38. | |
leave a message. What she didn't know at the time was that Millie's | :26:38. | :26:41. | |
phone had been hacked. More than 30 people have been | :26:41. | :26:44. | |
killed and 1,800 wounded in clashes in Cairo between Egypt's miltary | :26:44. | :26:47. | |
and pro-democracy supporters. The civilians are unhappy at how the | :26:47. | :26:50. | |
country is being run, nine months after the dictator Hosni Mubarak | :26:50. | :26:57. | |
was ousted. The former world champion athlete | :26:57. | :27:00. | |
Liz McColgan has been found not guilty of assaulting her estranged | :27:00. | :27:04. | |
husband. A court heard today how the couple had fallen out over a | :27:04. | :27:06. | |
solicitor's letter she received from Peter McColgan suggesting they | :27:06. | :27:11. | |
should sell their family home. The number of people passing through | :27:11. | :27:14. | |
Scotland's shopping areas has fallen by nine percent on last year. | :27:14. | :27:17. | |
The Scottish Retail Consortium has called it a nosedive and with just | :27:17. | :27:20. | |
over a month to go until Christmas retailers are hoping for a quick | :27:20. | :27:25. |
