A café-bar close to the Royal Mile in Edinburgh has been put up for sale or the first time in 32 years at offers over £1.28m.
Property agent Christie & Co has been instructed to sell Saint Giles’ Café Bar.
The café-bar business on St. Giles Street also benefits from tourists visiting the Royal Mile, St Giles Cathedral, Edinburgh Castle, and various other attractions in Edinburgh’s Old Town.

Christie & Co said: “The minimalist décor creates a rustic yet lively charm within the venue, which offers freshly baked delights, breakfast, lunch, and also offers a selection of alcoholic beverages. Inside there is a servery counter, and a range of tables and benches which cater up to 36 customers. There is also additional outdoor seating for up 14 customers.”

Gary Witham, hotels director for Scotland, said:“This is a rare opportunity to buy a freehold just off the Royal Mile - arguably the strongest tourist location in Edinburgh. Guaranteed year-round footfall and the ability to create a trend setting bar-cafe with limited competition so close to Edinburgh Castle will certainly appeal to both UK and overseas buyers.”
St Giles’ Café Bar is being sold as a freehold going concern.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
