Thousands of Scots families were left homeless on Christmas Day last year, according to shock figures.
Research by the Scottish Liberal Democrats found that 43,072 people did not have an adequate roof over their head during the 2021 festive season - including almost 14,000 children.
Edinburgh was the local authority with the highest number of homeless applications, with 5,470 requests covering 6,532 adults and 3,379 children. Glasgow, Fife and West Lothian also each recorded more than 2,000 homeless individuals, figures showed.
