A Scots jewellery business has been criticised by activists and politicians for putting up "Dickensian" signs telling beggars not to sit outside while they're open.
Stephen Henderson the Jeweller in Dundee has attached notices to the exterior of the shop that read: "No beggars during trading hours."
A ledge outside the store, on the corner of the Nethergate and Union Street in the city centre, also reads: "Please do not sit here."
