Graham Stewart and guests assess the mood of retailers on Scotland's high streets.

Graham Stewart and guests discuss the temperature on Scotland's high streets. With Christmas over and the wintry weather adding to a traditionally weak January, how are retailers coping?

In the studio are Susan Nicol, general manager of the recently relaunched St Enoch's Centre in Glasgow; and Chris Tiso, the eponymous MD of the specialist outdoor clothing and equipment chain.

We hear how the smaller traders around the country are faring. Gillian Sharpe reports from Great Western Road in Glasgow, and Iain Macdonald traverses the streets of Inverness with Stuart Nicol, head of the local Chamber of Commerce.

Plus, there's analysis from Gordon Bell, managing director of the consultancy, The Retailer.
