Scots man launches cafe in honour of late dad - and keeps it secret from entire family

A Scots dad left his family shocked after setting up a new business - without his family ever realising. Callum Anderson will be opening the doors to Ian's Wee Cafe in a matter of weeks, after spending months keeping it a secret from his relatives.

Despite the Midlothian-based eatery being in the works for a good while, the family were only let in on the secret just last weekend. But although he kept it from his loved ones, Callum hopes they will all play a part in its success.

One relative who sadly won't get to see the cafe opening is Callum's dad, Ian. Callum said he got into cooking as a young man, as a way to help out the family while they all rallied around his dad, who was suffering from health issues. And as a touching nod to that, he has named the venture after his father.
