The Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) is asking Scots to back Small Business Saturday for a second year running by choosing to spend their festive pay packets with independent businesses this weekend.
More than £460 million was spent in small enterprises across the UK on Small Business Saturday last year.
This year the FSB wants even more people to back small businesses and support Scottish high streets.
Andy Willox, the FSB’s Scottish policy convener, said: “Independent retailers and other small enterprises often offer goods and services which you can’t find elsewhere.”
He added that: “Small Business Saturday offers a real opportunity to connect phenomenal small businesses with locals who perhaps aren’t aware of the great small businesses on their doorstep.”
