A pub, a radio mast and cabin, and land near a beach airstrip are among 35 lots featuring in Shepherd Chartered Surveyors’ commercial property auction this month.
Scots Corner pub, at Luthermuir in Aberdeenshire, has a guide price of £170,000 for the February 22 auction, which will be live-streamed. This property includes a three-bedroom owners’ flat, which Shepherd noted could be used as a guest house.

Shepherd observed that, “for those looking for something a little different”, the auction will feature a radio mast and cabin for sale on Beith Road in Greenock, with a guide price of £5,000. This is being sold on behalf of the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service.
The chartered surveyor says of the Scots Corner pub: “Internally the public house provides accommodation that is finished to a modern standard, ready for immediate trading by an incoming occupier.
