Could Scottish night life be returning to its former glory?
By Harriet Bowyer
Aberdeen has experienced a rapidly changing nightlife scene over the past 5 years. The weekly event Skite Wednesday has changed venues multiple times, and turnover has been frequent, including the closure of Underground (reopened as Motion) and, more recently, Harbour Works. Post-COVID-19, nightlife across Scotland has reportedly been struggling, with the NTIA Report recording a 13.2% decline in activity in the nightlife economy since March 2020.
