Nine people from Dundee have become the first in Scotland to gain the British Institute for Inn Keepers’ (BII) award in assessment of licensed premises.
The qualification allows the recipients to assess bars, pubs and clubs as part of the Best Bar None scheme, a national award aimed at encouraging licensed premises to act responsibly.

Janet Hood from BII presented the awards. She said, “We hope all who qualified will now be able to help pubs and clubs in Dundee keep standards high.

“There has been a lot of bad press recently about alcohol and violence, but we hope that the Best Bar None initiative will show that many traders make a big effort to keep their premises safe for everyone.”

The Best Bar None awards are part of the Dundee Coordinated Anti-Crime Network (Duncan) scheme. The Fort Hotel in Broughty Ferry was awarded first prize last month.
