Philip Green's Arcadia to axe four stores in Scotland

Sir Philip Green's Arcadia Group is to close four stores in Scotland as part of proposals to axe 23 shops, putting 520 jobs at risk.

The retail tycoon's empire put forward a rescue plan which will see the closure of Dorothy Perkins, Burton, Topshop and Topman stores.
