The demise of BHS with the loss of 800 Scottish jobs has led to both sadness and nostalgia for the demise of the traditional high street.

The superstore is the latest in a long line of businesses which have suffered from the changing tastes and habits of consumers.

All 163 BHS shops, including 16 across Scotland, will close after the chain failed to secure a rescue bid.

STV looks at five other stores which were once synonymous with the Scottish high street but have since vanished.

Perhaps the most mourned shop to close in recent years, Woolworths was once a fixture in town centres across Scotland.

The pick and mix and vinyl record selection helped to shape the formative years of many a young Scot.

But while there was much mourning and sadness when the shop announced it was in financial difficulties, it was unable to compete with supermarkets and online shopping and eventually shut its doors in 2009.

John Menzies (pronounced Ming-uss) was Scotland's WH Smith, a newsagent and stationery shop to which every school pupil was dragged to buy the pens, rulers and jotters they would inevitably lose within the first few weeks of term.

Named after its Victorian founder, who started his first business at just 25, it became a national chain until its shops were bought over by the aforementioned WH Smith in 1998 and the name slipped off the high street.

Although Wimpy technically still exists, it has been virtually wiped from the high street after being squeezed by competition from US burger chains McDonalds and Burger King.

For many people, a Wimpy was the first burger they'd ever had, served up on traditional crockery and cutlery.

Superfans can still find branches surviving in Dingwall, Fraserburgh, Kilmarnock and the M&D's amusement park in Motherwell.

Goldbergs was founded in 1908 by Abraham Goldberg, a Jewish immigrant from eastern Europe.

It grew from a single store in the south side of Glasgow into a sprawling department store empire with more than 100 locations. The Edinburgh store famously contained a roof garden.

After years of declining sales, the company ceased trading in 1990, leaving a significant hole in the Scottish shopping industry.

Without doubt the most embarrassing tale of decline is that of jewellers Ratners.

The cut-price necklaces and cut glass catapulted the company into becoming one of the most successful jewellery businesses in the UK but the success was undone with just one phrase.

Speaking to business leaders at conference, boss Gerald Ratner said of their low price products: "People say, 'How can you sell this for such a low price?', I say, 'because it's total crap'."

The value of the group plummeted by around £500m and the Ratners name disappeared from shopfronts in a year.
