A liquidator has been appointed to a Scottish restaurant company.
The Edinburgh firm said it had “taken the difficult decision” to close its doors.
Radicibus had operated in the Stockbridge area of the Scottish capital for almost a decade.
A special resolution was made that the company should be wound up voluntarily. Kevin Mapstone of BTG was appointed liquidator.

The Deanhaugh Street-registered restaurant company operators said that they had “made the difficult decision to close Radicibus”.
They said in a statement: “After almost 10 years filled with challenges, achievements, laughter, hard work, and unforgettable memories, we feel that the time has come to bring this chapter to an end.
“It has been a truly incredible journey, and we are deeply grateful for the opportunity to share it with all of you. Over the years, many of our customers have become good friends, and the support, kindness, and encouragement we have received from the community have meant more to us than words can express.”
