A much-loved café in Edinburgh has shocked customers by announcing that it has made the decision to close permanently.
The couple behind the Blue Bear Café in Canonmills took to social media to reveal that they'd taken the decision "with a heavy heart" but that they'd be closing for good on Monday (February 27).
Posting on both Facebook and Instagram, owner David wrote that he and Karen said it was a "very difficult decision" but one that they had to make due to the "economic challenges of the last few years" and the fact it had no longer become sustainable to keep the café going.
