THE PROPERTY
Due to retirement we present a unique opportunity to purchase a wedding
giftware manufacturing business and commercial property in the Craft Village
of one of Scotland’s top tourist attractions. Comprising of reception area,
shop, workshop, packing and administration area, kitchen, washroom and toilet
this compact but efficient workspace holds great potential. Stock and equipment
may be available by separate negotiation. Full training and ongoing support
will be offered if required.
THE AREA
John O’ Groats is undoubtedly one of the best-know places in Scotland,
and every year this North-East tip of Caithness sees a procession of "End-to-Enders"
making the long journey to Land’s End. John O’ Groats itself is very much a focal
point for tourism, and the village boasts two hotels and a guest house, a campsite,
numerous B&B establishments and a number of craft shops and studios. As well as being
a destination in its own right, it is also a springboard for trips across the Pentland
Firth via the famous Short Sea crossing to Orkney. Although Tourism brings an extra
prosperity to the area, there is a strong and welcoming local community, with a wide
range of social and cultural activities, and the area is well served with all the
usual amenities.
