Hundreds of Scottish holiday-makers have had their trips cancelled after a short-break travel operator ceased trading.
At least 60 bookings in Tayside have been affected by the closure of Diamond Shortbreak Holidays Ltd, which happened due to “financial difficulties”.
In total, the company has 7,000 outstanding bookings comprising around 16,000 passengers UK-wide.
The operator, which includes the River Cruise Line, specialises in coach holidays and rail breaks.
A statement from the company said: “It is with deep regret that Diamond Shortbreak Holidays Ltd, trading as Diamond Holidays, Diamond Rail Holidays and the River Cruise Line, is in the process of going into administration.
“All passengers who were due to travel with the company have either already been contacted or will be contacted shortly.
“As the company is a fully bonded member of Abta and Atol monies paid by our customers are protected.”
Diamond Shortbreak Holidays, based in Leicestershire, has been operating holidays in the UK and Europe for 19 years with 52 UK-based staff members and 26 overseas.
