The Scottish Government allowed the hospitality industry to open its indoor seating areas again on Wednesday and there were many who were delighted to be back out enjoying a pint in the pub and a meal in a restaurant.
Photographer Michael Gillen visited some of the local establishments on the day they welcomed their customers back. Can you spot anyone you know?
