How does it feel to get out to the pub again?

“It is magic that the pub is open. Also the prices are so much better at some places than others.”

“I’m really happy. It’s nice to be able to get one of my favourite pints. “It’s great as I have watched the place fill up quite a bit.”

Steve More, 48, graphic designer from Edinburgh, in Black Isle Bar in Inverness

“It is good to see friends after months of staying indoors. “I have been a bit lonely with only my dog as company.”

Dave Sinclair, 55, retired, from Elgin, in the Midas bar

“It is important to support your local pubs and especially the Midas which is a family-run one. This is furthest I have been in four months as I stay next to the Tesco.” Ron Thomson, 62, retired from Elgin in the Midas bar
