A Scottish airport has hailed a new coffee shop offering.
It comes as retail and food and drink for passengers are boosted ahead of what is expected to be a record year for traveller numbers.
The outlet is one of a number of changes at Edinburgh Airport as it looks forward to welcoming over 15 million travellers this year.
The airport said: "Our new Caffè Nero is now open near gate seven, check it out if youâre after a morning coffee to get you through that early start."
Edinburgh Airport also said earlier it is to open "distinct Scottish" outlets that include fashion and gifting by next year.
"As Scotlandâs busiest airport we see tens of thousands of people travel through every day, whether for business or leisure, and we offer a unique retail opportunity for them by providing choice and variety,â the airport said.
âď¸| Morning! Hereâs something weâve bean looking forward to sharing.

"Our strategy of delivering sustainable growth through choice offers our passengers the best possible range and diverse selection of retail products, lounges and services."

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.Â
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.Â
That is invaluable.Â
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 journalistâs 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
