Scotts South Queensferry new opening hours:
Scotts is one of many restaurants that have had to reduce opening hours due to staff shortages, and to preserve current staff wellbeing.
The Gannet in Glasgow will no longer open five days a week, and The Peat Inn in Fife has stopped its lunch service for the foreseeable.
Last month, Billy Boyter of Anstruther's The Cellar, reduced his team's working week to four days.
Speaking to The Scotsman at the time, Billy said: "I spoke to other chefs who are working a 4 day week and I thought if we can afford to do it then we really should.
"It's really for the benefit of the staff, as we know the amount of work they do.
"There's a lot of negativity around hospitality and especially towards Michelin Star restaurants and the working conditions and hours.
"I want to put a different spin on that and show that you can work in these places without working the hours that people think you do in order to cook good food."
