A family has sold a historic hotel on a famous Scottish tourist route.
The hotel that started as a 17th century coaching inn was described as an “exceptionally well-performing” business.
Cornerstone Business Agents said that the Aberdour Hotel “enjoys a prominent trading location on the High Street in the affluent Fife coastal village of Aberdour”.
Barry McNeil, director of Cornerstone Business Agents, said: “It was a real delight to act for Scott and Iona and finally get this one over the line.
“The future of the business is in very safe hands as the business and property have been purchased by an experienced hotelier and publican.”

He added: “Fife has proved to be a busy trading environment with recent sales in Kingsbarns, Anstruther and Kirkcaldy.”
The agent also said: “Aberdour is a sought-after village and trading location on the Fife coast, approximately a 30-minute drive from Edinburgh. The village is often a participant and winner in Britain in Bloom competitions with the Victorian railway station a multi-award winner for its displays and presentation.”
The value of the sale was not disclosed but the freehold was marketed at a guide price of £895,000.
