A FORMER restaurant in a Scottish town is being put up for auction, with opening bids of £99,000-plus sought.
The former Waterfront Restaurant on Kirkcaldy’s High Street is being sold by Auction House Scotland, which declared: “If you’ve ever dreamt of running your own bar or restaurant near the coast, then this could be the ideal opportunity.”
Auction House Scotland added: “Situated by the waterfront in the town centre, the former well-established restaurant is being offered in walk-in condition with an approximate size of 159 square meters (1,711 sq ft).
