Warren said: 'Congratulations to all who have won or come close, especially and of course to Donald, who has done and continues to do so much for hospitality AND entertainment in Scotland.
'It is a very tough time for everyone right now, but it does seem the hospitality industry is really feeling the heat – people simply don't have the money to go out as often as they did, or they're scared to spend the money they do have.
'We need to socialise, we need that break and to let off steam, escape all the day-to-day worries – and that's what our friends in hospitality provide.
'With many closures and difficulties, it's important to recognise those who go above and beyond to give the public that chance to zone out, relax and de-stress.
'That's what these awards are for – it's a nod and a thank you from the public to the place and people they appreciate, those who do it better than the rest or just offer something really special.
'So while we have big names performing here tonight, the real stars are the award winners from all over Scotland, venues and businesses who stand out every single day and night.
'Thank you to every winner, every highly recommended and every business who perhaps hasn't won tonight but is out there working hard every day to support us all – sadly, there can be only one winner in each category and some are very close.'
The awards were determined through public nominations, votes, and on-the-ground judging.
The awards served as a celebration of resilience, excellence, and community impact.

Oasis fans claim gig-goer 'ruined' experience for others with bizarre act
An Oasis fan has been branded 'hilarious' after she was caught on video singing along to the band at their reunion gig in Dublin this weekend in a high-pitched opera voice Oasis concluded their 14-show tour of the UK and Ireland as part of their Live '25 reunion tour over the weekend with two sold-out shows at Croke Park in Dublin. The Gallagher brothers, Liam and Noel, will next tour North America before returning to London's Wembley Stadium in September for another two gigs that were added after the original run due to overwhelming demand. Thousands of fans shelled out hundreds of euros to join the crowd at Croke Park, and while most undoubtedly had a blast, a select few concert-goers had their experience "ruined" - all because of another fan in the crowd. Oasis enthusiast Holly Walsh was attempting to film a video of the Gallagher brothers performing their hit track Cigarettes and Alcohol, but one fan in her seating area "ruined" the entire clip. Sharing the video on TikTok, Holly revealed that someone seated near her was singing along to the song in a high-pitched operatic voice, which could be heard loud and clear in the clip - and by all the fans around her. Some commenters were quick to make light of the situation, with some joking that the singing was Liam Gallagher's "real voice", and others suggesting that renowned singer and Britain's Got Talent runner-up Susan Boyle was in the crowd. Comparisons were also drawn to Mickey Mouse, Elmo, and even The Darkness frontman Justin Hawkins. Some viewers were in stitches, claiming they were "wetting themselves" at the hilarity of the clip. However, not everyone was amused by the singing, with many suggesting it would have "ruined" the gig for them if they'd been in Holly's position. Another chimed in: "I'm glad I wasn't stuck behind her." A third even attempted to claim responsibility for the peculiar singing voice, stating: "I was literally two rows in front of you and it possibly could have been me." In the lead up to the Oasis gigs in Dublin, fans had highlighted the "best part" of the reunion shows so far after a video of Liam and Noel embracing backstage went viral. The concerts mark the first time the brothers have performed together in 16 years, following Oasis' dramatic split in 2009. The sight of the brothers reuniting has sparked chatter about how "happy" their mother, Peggy Gallagher, must be.

I went to Scotland's first pug cafe, and it's going to make normal coffee shops seem boring
I'm at Edinburgh cafe, CuppaPug, and wondering what the collective noun for pugs should be. In reality, it's a pack, but this breed is too far removed from wolves to call them that. A guddle or gaggle are not correct, but sound more fitting. Suddenly, Who Let the Dogs Out by Baha Men comes on the stereo, and the pugs are released into the room, with its bubblegum pink walls, ball pit, and wooden seating, plus a box of furry toys. Now, I know, if I had to choose that noun, it'd be a swarm. They are like chubby bumble bees, with their flat little faces and shiny button eyes. Apparently, one of the theories about the name of this ancient breed - dating back a mere 2000 years - comes from the fact that they resemble marmosets, which were once called pug monkeys. A troupe then? Whatever. Out they flee, with curled tails wiggling. Everyone in the room - about 15 of us, who'd waited expectantly at the entrance for our on-the-hour session - is grinning. The city already has a chihuahua cafe and a cat cafe, but who knew that Edinburgh had so many pug fans? Well, obviously entrepreneur, Aaron Carty, who appeared on Britain's Got Talent as a Beyonce tribute drag act, and also owns CuppaPugs in London, Manchester and California, with others to come in Las Vegas and Texas. Now there's one in Scotland, too, and perhaps more to come. 'For the past three years we've had families make the journey from Edinburgh to London just to visit CuppaPug. It was about time we came to Scotland, the reception and support has been amazing,' says Carty. The new branch is being run by Konrad Stygar, who is a manager and investor. There are around ten pugs here today, and five of them are his pets. He owns them with his partner, Sam Firman, who also works in the cafe. The other pugs are rescues, who were surrendered to their foster care as part of the CuppaPug Rescue Charity. They wear pink bandanas, and if you fall in love, you can apply to adopt them. Today, wearing the rose neckerchiefs, among others, there are the rather beautiful Candy and Floss. These sisters are half pug, half Pekingese, and are absolutely gorgeous - one is black and white, with speckled legs, and the other is buff-coloured and has the silhouette of a Chinese imperial lion. At one point, the petite but feisty Candy causes a scuffle among the other dogs, and is taken out of the main room, for some time out. 'She is only a year old, so still a puppy,' says Firman, as she is excused. Another dog is taken outside, because he needs a walkies, and I'm glad to see that the bosses are attuned to their wards' needs. I feel that Candy may already be spoken for, as one of the other CuppaPug employees has fostered her, and doesn't seem ready to ever let go, though she already has a full house, with three children and two dogs. Another pup, Baxter, was surrendered to them about a month ago. He was quite traumatised, and is slowly being thawed out at the cafe. Today, he's metaphorically Velcroed to Firman's leg. I do wonder why so many pugs are unwanted, but can only assume that it may be down to their health needs and vet expenses, as they are prone to breathing difficulties and eye problems. Baxter is the buff-coloured and black-faced pug that we commonly associate with the breed. He's the sort that Ethel from Eastenders used to wheel around in a shopping trolley. Her Willy. However, today's batch comes in all different shades. There are a couple of jet black pups, and an albino pair who are pure white, with blue eyes and very human expressions. I'm a big fan of old-fashioned names for the breed, and I'm happy there is a Wilfred and a Ted, but there's also an Olive. Stygar already has his hands full, but is open to taking on another as a pet at some point. 'My family and I had fostered dogs previously, but working with pugs made me realise just how sympathetic and loving this particular breed is - it's truly like having a baby,' he says. 'I believe people adore the breed because each one is unique, with its own distinct personality.' Our group on my Sunday visit consists mainly of adults, and a couple of children. There's also a woman with a white dog, since you get 50 per cent off your human ticket price, if you bring a pug. Her pet looks absolutely horrified by the enthusiastic incomers. At least the humans are excited. However, we've had a health and safety briefing, and know we have to wait patiently for the pugs to come to us. We've been given small chunks of carrot that are quickly scoffed. The menu, for this IS a cafe, is rather neglected as we're all too distracted. However, I eventually order a sweet pumpkin spiced latte (£4), which has an edible picture of a pug, Ted, on top of the squirty cream. As I drink it, I can see 20 beady round black eyes staring at me. It seems that this breed is rather food-motivated. Thankfully, there are also favours that you can buy for the dogs. Their £2.50 soy milk puggacinno is the most popular. Whenever someone buys one, they are swarmed. I'm given a little pot of chopped up strawberries, and they garner slightly less enthusiasm, though one of the white pugs seems to be a fruit lover. We've been told to put the food flat on our hands at feeding time. It's a strange sensation, like being butted by an extremely slavery velvet ball. Still, people can't get enough, and, as we prepare to leave, another queue is gathering at the door. As Stygar says; 'Being something new and unique, we have been selling out regularly. Our customers often include students who miss their family dogs, as well as individuals looking to adopt a pug. It's also worth noting that a portion of our entry fee goes to other charities to support their rescue and development efforts.' A Resident Pugs hour-long session at CuppaPug (22 Bread Street, Edinburgh) costs £20 for adults, £10 for children, 4 .

Ashley Banjo breaks silence after appearing in Bonnie Blue documentary – and reveals how they know each other
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) ASHLEY Banjo has broken his silence after appearing in Bonnie Blue's documentary. The Diversity hunk made an unlikely cameo in the new Channel 4 documentary earlier this summer, focusing on porn star Bonnie Blue, with fans instantly stunned when they spotted the Britain's Got Talent star. 6 Ashley Banjo has broken his silence after appearing in Bonnie Blue's documentary Credit: TIKTOK/@brothersuncovered 6 He went on to brand her as 'controversial' Credit: TIKTOK/@brothersuncovered 6 Bonnie Blue and Ashley Banjo were seen posing in a snap on her show Credit: CHANNEL 4 6 1,000 Men and Me: The Bonnie Blue Story came out on Channel 4 this summer Credit: Channel 4 Appearing in 1,000 Men And Me – The Bonnie Blue story, Ashley can be seen with his arm around the X-rated OnlyFans creator in an old photo. The photo flashed up on screen as her mum recalled her passion for dance as a youngster. He was not named when the photo was shown to viewers, but it was clear his image was a reference to Bonnie's love affair with dance. And now Ashley has broken his silence while chatting to his brother Jordan Banjo and Diversity star Perri Kiely on the Brothers Uncovered podcast. "Turns out Ash, you're in Bonnie Blue's documentary," Jordan said. "I do feature in Bonnie Blue's new documentary," Ashley confirmed. Jordan then gave listeners some "context" saying how Bonnie was once a dancer, with this spoken about on the programme. He then explained how they were showing clips of her dancing when she was younger. Adding how the snap appeared on-screen with Ashley posing with Bonnie, the boys all laughed. "Do you know what's nuts about it? Huge ITV star makes very awkward cameo in Channel 4's shock Bonnie Blue documentary "Because I had a few messages, and people sending me, like videoing the screen going, 'you're in the Bonnie Blue documentary'. "The fact they don't mention my name, or there's no context," Ashley said. He went on: "It's just the Bonnie Blue doc. And yes they're talking about her being a dancer, but then we just pop up." Jordan then confessed that when he was getting messages saying his brother was in the documentary he "panicked a bit". Who is Bonnie Blue? Born in May 1999, Bonnie - whose real name is Tia Billinger - grew up in a small Derbyshire village, and attended the Friesland School in the village of Sandiacre. She has two half-siblings - a sister and a brother - who have always remained out of the public eye. She never knew her biological father, and considers stepfather Nicholas Elliott her dad. Bonnie also became something of a dance star in her local area, and competed in the British Street Dance Championships alongside her sister back in 2015. She also had a part-time job at Poundstretcher as a teenager. After school, she began working in recruitment. In October 2022, Bonnie married Oliver Davidson, who she had started dating when she was just 15. Once they were married, they moved to Australia, where Bonnie continued working in recruitment. However, it was in Australia that she decided to pursue a different line of work, and tried her luck as a 'cam girl' - crediting Oliver for giving her the confidence to enter the adult entertainment world. She quickly made a name for herself in the industry, and was soon making £5,000 a week. But while her work life was going from strength to strength, her relationship was crumbling, and she and Oliver split after almost a decade together. She moved over to OnlyFans following her cam girl success, and once again found fame on there. She quickly became a favourite on the site, especially thanks to her "niche" of sleeping with young male students - such as when she bedded 158 students during Nottingham Trent University's freshers week in September 2024. Bonnie is now estimated to be worth £3 million, and makes around £600,000 a month on OnlyFans. Her family are also supportive of her work, with mum Sarah Billinger even claiming she's her daughter's PA, and helps clean up after Bonnie's events - as well as handing out condoms to young clients. In January 2025, Bonnie claimed to have broken the world record for the most amount of sex in 12 hours, after apparently sleeping with 1,057 men from 1pm to 1am at a secret London event. "Ain't it mad though, you just never know, like what people are going to do," Ashley said. "Or who they are." He went on to say how Bonnie has gone on to become one of the most "controversial" and "talked about" people. Reacting to the clip from the podcast episode, which was shared on TikTok, fans got in on the action. One person asked: "Why was he watching the documentary in the first place?" Another joked: "Right away I was losing respect for Ash." "That's definitely someone you don't want to be associated with," penned a third, While a fourth asked: "Do they not notify you though?" 6 Jordan Banjo appeared on the podcast alongside his brother Credit: Channel 4
