With the festive season upon us, and Christmas Day fast approaching, millions will be flocking to supermarkets to grab supplies for the big day.

While many will have had the ‘big shop’ sorted for weeks, even the most organised person can sometimes forget something.

And there’s nothing worse than popping to the supermarket for that forgotten stuffing, cranberry sauce or crispy pigs in blankets to find the store closed for the holidays.

Lucky for Scottish shoppers most major supermarkets have released their opening times, so should you need to do a last minute dash you know when to go.
