A shop next to a beauty spot on Scotland’s world-famous North Coast 500 tourist route has been put on the market.
The agent said the village store offers a "once in a lifetime opportunity to own and operate an exceptional business at the heart of a community in a much-visited, iconic location".
The Business Partnership said that The Durness Shop is "not your average convenience store", adding: "The village of Durness is wild and remote and marks the halfway point on the world-famous North Coast 500 route, now one of the 'top 10 things to do' in the world."
The agent said: "The Durness Shop is in a corner position on the only road through the heart of the village, which is logistically fortunate as every vehicle must directly pass by the premises.
"There is ample convenient store front parking and the shop is located next door to one of, if not the most popular campsites on the NC500 route.
“This sale represents a unique opportunity to own a well-established, highly respected and cherished business, which has its roots steeped in the local community, having traded for nearly 100 years."

The agent added: "The shop is currently branded under the Spar logo, however it is fully independent having no long term commitment to Spar or any other company.
"The owners pride themselves on offering local, ecologically and ethically sourced produce whenever they can.
"Along with all the usual day to day food lines you would expect to see in a business of this nature, there is a focus on providing deli-style, organic, dietary specific and high-quality local produce.
"An excellent selection of freshly baked food to go items and bean to cup coffees are also available daily. Reviews across social media demonstrate how the careful curation of products has been well received by home grown and global travellers alike."
The Business Partnership said the freehold is available for offers in the region of £645,000.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
