GLASGOW arts venue The Old Hairdressers will host top coffee connoisseurs and baristas as they go head to head in the first Scottish AeroPress Championship.

Contestants will be vying for the chance to represent Scotland at the World AeroPress Championship in June in Italy.

Cafeine fiends from across Scotland will battle it out, with a blind tasting in front of a judging panel.

In previous years, Scotland has been included in the UK Championship but, with the referendum approaching, event organiser Lisa Lawson, of Glasgow's Dear Green Coffee roasters, opted for Scotland to go it alone.

It will be held at the Renfield Lane venue on Sunday from 2pm.
