A hotel in an area "steeped in history" is being offered at a reduced price.
The family who own the Steam Packet Inn is selling the premises after 40 years and said: "It is sad for us to be selling the business that has been part of the family for so long, we feel it’s time for us to move on."
Agent Graham + Sibbald said: "Situated at the southernmost tip of the Machars Peninsula the Steam Packet Inn has an enviable quayside location, the Isle of Whithorn, overlooking the pretty harbour.
"This delightful three-star inn is very well established, with seven letting bedrooms, two bars, and two restaurants. The Steam Packet Inn is truly a leisure destination located, quite literally, at the 'end of the road' in this delightful coastal locality of Dumfries and Galloway."
Graham + Sibbald also said: "The Whithorn area is steeped in history - it is where St Ninian landed bringing Christianity to Scotland; and the harbour was once the main port, for regular cargo and ferries, by the Steam Packet Company connecting with Liverpool, as well as a multitude of smaller vessels working for the village; plus a port for fishing boats."
Alastair Scoular, managing director of Steam Packet Hotel Company said: "Although it is sad for us to be selling the business that has been part of the family for so long, we feel it’s time for us to move on. We believe the pub offers huge potential for new owners to continue its success."
The Steam Packet Inn, Isle Of Whithorn, is offered at a reduced price of £625,000.
'Oldest pizza shop' in Stirling put up for sale
What is thought to be the oldest pizza shop in Stirling has been put up for sale.
The Brindisi, which dates back to 1984, is described as a long-established and profitable hot good takeaway on the south-east side of Upper Craigs, a retail thoroughfare close to the Thistle Shopping Centre.
Selling agent Shepherd Chartered Surveyors noted that the outlet, now trading primarily as a fish and chip shop, benefits from the Upper Craigs Project, which aims to enhance public spaces in Stirling by improving pedestrian areas, lighting, landscaping, and accessibility features.
