Edinburgh's strip clubs will stay open after a judge ruled the city council's bid to ban them was unlawful.
Strippers had been left fearing for their futures in the trade after the City of Edinburgh Council brought in what it described as a nil-cap policy last year - an effective ban on sexual entertainment venues (SEV).
Clubs in the Scottish capital, alongside strippers themselves, launched a judicial review in a bid to quash the policy set by the authority's regulatory committee, and on Friday Lord Richardson ruled it was unlawful.
