Fears have been raised that a much-loved 24-hour bakery may lose its late-night licence.
Storries Home Bakery, located at the foot of Leith Walk in Edinburgh, is regarded as a local institution.
Bosses at the nearby Victoria Bar took to Facebook to call on locals to sign a petition to help keep the bakery "serving through the night".

They said that the loss of the license would be “a devastating blow” to locals, writing: “ A Leith institution needs your help! Unfortunately, our neighbours at Storries Bakery are under threat of losing their late-night licence.
“This would be a devasting blow for Leithers past and present, who have enjoyed a pie on the way home from a night out.
"But more importantly, a vital meal for night workers with most other places closed. Let's keep this Leith staple serving through the night!”
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.
