Cornerstone said: “Macduff was a famous spa town during the nineteenth century and still has a busy working harbour along with the famous Macduff Marine Aquarium which has just been awarded a significant grant towards an upgrade and modernisation.
“The town has two excellent golf courses located either side of the town centre with Royal Tarlair just to the east and Royal Duff House just across the bridge in Banff.
“The trading location forms part of the North East 250, an amazing road trip which explores everything for which Scotland is famous on a unique route taking you through the whisky distilleries of Speyside, the spectacular mountain passes of the Cairngorms National Park, the famous castles of Royal Deeside, the rugged North Sea coastline to the east and the picturesque seaside villages of the Moray Firth Coast.”
The agent added: “Our clients have owned and operated Dolphin Fish and Chips since 2016 and since then have consistently invested, upgraded and modernised both the property and all the equipment, fixtures and fittings within.”
Director of Cornerstone David Higgins commented: “Another fish and chip shop sale or ‘chippy’ or ‘chipper’ depending on where you are from by Cornerstone Business Agents.
"This time up in Macduff, Aberdeenshire in the north east of Scotland on behalf of owners Susan and David Wiseman.
“We are delighted along with our clients on this one that the deal completed without any hiccups and that they can have more family time and holidays without the tie of the business.”
The value of the sale was not disclosed although the premises had been offered at a guide price of £250,000.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
