A restaurant in a historic Scottish village next to a famous castle ruin has been put up for sale.

The premises are "in the heart of the village on the harbour front amidst the pastel-coloured sea-fronting businesses and houses", Cornerstone Business Agents said.

The restaurant is in the village of Portpatrick in south west Scotland which sits next to Dunskey Castle and is a popular tourist location.

"Portpatrick and the area around the village is long synonymous with holiday homes and caravan parks and being a welcoming tourist village on the most southerly of the Scottish coasts," the agent said.

Portpatrick is about ten miles from Stranraer and a further five miles north to the ferry port of Cairnryan which connects tourists, business and daily commuter traffic across the Irish sea to Northern Ireland. "Cairnryan is still one of the most important ferry terminals in Scotland heavily utilised by the public, freight as well as tourists," the agent added.

"This is a very exciting opportunity for a motivated buyer to acquire a very well positioned property in one of the most sought-after locations in the south west of Scotland," Cornerstone Business Agents said.
