The owner of a Glasgow cafe says she is delighted after a “couple of absolute melts” returned a missing ice cream statue that had been taken from outside the premises.
The large ornament has been a permanent fixture at the Langside Cafe in the city’s southside for around 40 years and has also appeared in artwork featuring the shop.
It disappeared a couple of weeks ago, with only the model flake left behind.

Cafe owner Isabell Graham hoped it would eventually return.
She told Sky News: “We thought it might reappear, then it didn’t. And then I had a look at buying a new one and they’re like £500-600.
“I thought ‘oh, quite a lot of money’, so we put a little post on Instagram yesterday and so many people shared it.
“I came in this morning, and it was sitting with a lovely little note. We’re delighted because we’ve had it for such a long time.”
The apology letter featured a drawing of an ice cream alongside an explanation.

It read: “Dear Langside Cafe, found the ice cream on its side next to rubbish, missing its flake and assumed it had been thrown out.
“We are so sorry and hope it’s not caused too much distress. Please forgive us.
“Love, a couple of absolute melts.”

Ms Graham, who has run the business for six years, said: “The one we’ve got just now is from the late ’80s, but there have been older ones that have gone missing over the years.
