An Edinburgh restaurant and bar has hit out at thieves who have left them spending hundreds to replace their decor.
Woodland Creatures in Leith have shared their disappointment after constantly finding their table knick knacks stolen at the end of the night.
A popular bar that has recently been nominated for 'Scotland's best Gastropub', the venue is known for serving up some incredible comfort food along with top notch service.
However, speaking out on social media on Sunday, the bar said certain customers had been taking advantage of their kindness, and stealing their table decorations.

With the small ceramic animals priced at around £20 each, staff said they had been forking out to replace around "five a week", giving a rough cost of over £400 each month.
Hitting out at those responsible, the bar said: "We've had a few laughs about these little guys going missing, but this time we are serious.
"You are stealing from a small business, who has struggled through COVID with closures, curfews, capacity limits and capitulation.

"You should be ashamed of yourselves.
"We are having to replace up to five of these a week, which is beginning to add up as a significant cost to our little business.
"We know they are cute. That's why we bought them.
"You can buy them too: instead of deliberately damaging a locally owned and run business; give Jeff Bezos some money instead."
