A HISTORIC Scottish pub in Dumfries has been put up for sale.
Agents Christie & Co said that The Ship Inn presents a “fantastic opportunity” for any prospective buyers.
The pub is situated directly opposite the historic St Michael’s Kirkyard, where Robert Burns is buried, and is within 300 yards of Burns House.
The traditional pub has been well invested and refurbished since it was purchased by the current owners in 2021.
As well as a bar and lounge, the property also benefits from two first floor flats. The accommodation is currently leased on a rolling contract, offering an additional income for the prospective buyer.
Associate director with Christie & Co Tony Spence commented: “This is a great opportunity to acquire a well presented public house in the town centre of Dumfries.
“The current owners purchased the property back in 2021. However, due to other business commitments they are now looking to sell.
“The business would be a great purchase for a couple who are looking to start a career in the hospitality sector or a multiple operator looking to grow an existing portfolio.”
