The team behind a popular city-centre pub which opened on Christmas to offer a place for the homeless and the vulnerable to spend the day was left shocked by the sheer scale of the plight people are facing after serving up double the amount of meals they were expecting.
McChuills on the High Street opened in the afternoon until 10pm on the 25th, with a free event giving out Christmas dinners and gifts to those in need, which included a shuttle bus for picking up and dropping off those attending.
However, they posted on their official Facebook account that the event, which saw them team up with the charity Homeless Project Scotland, really opened their eyes to the "heartbreaking" situation many are facing this winter.
