The latest three-yearly property valuation figures have revealed widespread business rates increases across Aberdeen.

The Press and Journal reports the draft figures - which firms have until March to appeal - calculate the rent that could have been achieved at a fixed valuation date, then assign a rateable value to each property.

Aberdeen International Airport has been given a rateable valuation of £4.5million which sees its rates bill shoot up by more than 50%.

Ryden property expert Lorna Greig told the P&J there has "pretty much been increases across the board".

Union Square and the Trinity Centre are also seeing increases, while P&J Live's rates bill is set to increase from £3.9million to £4.29million.

P&J Live managing director Rob Wicks called for an "urgent rethink of the system".
