Lee Butler called for customers to be patient during the busy summer lates market

Lee Butler and co-owner Callum Brown opened the first Butler's Travel shop in Aberdeen last month, taking more than 100 bookings worth nearly £450,000 in their first 28 days of trading.

On Thursday (20 August), Butler posted an emotional video to Facebook thanking customers, the city of Aberdeen and people from the wider area for their support since the shop opened its doors.
