Marks & Spencer is to open a new food hall in a Scots town as part of its major expansion push north of the border.
The new Linlithgow store, located in the town's Stockbridge Retail Park, will open its doors on January 25.
The 12,500 sq ft market-style food hall will include an in-store bakery for freshly-baked breads and pastries and a dedicated M&S Wine Shop.
The new-look M&S Linlithgow Foodhall follows the retailer’s £10million investment in Scotland last year including its East Kilbride, Bishopbriggs and Glasgow West End stores.

More than 60 new jobs have been created in the local area, M&S said.
Store Manager, Brian Torley said: “We look forward to welcoming the community to our new Linlithgow store when we open on Burns Day.
"The new Foodhall is packed with so many exciting new features which we can’t wait to reveal, and we’re counting down the days to finally open the doors and see local customers experience it for themselves.”
To celebrate opening on Burns Day, those visiting the store on January 25 will be treated to some Scottish entertainment.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
