A LANDMARK Scottish restaurant and bar has been put up for sale.
CDLH Creevy Darroch has been instructed by Mitchells and Butlers to seek a purchaser for The Red Deer, adjacent to the M80 at Cumbernauld.
It is expected to attract “significant interest” from both potential owners and tenants.

Alan Creevy, director at CDLH, commented: “The Red Deer is a purpose-built family restaurant/bar, on a highly assessable site off the roundabout leading to the M8 motorway at Cumbernauld.
“Whilst a relatively modern building, the property has been constructed as a vintage inn, offering extensive food, beverage and dining areas, along with a large beer garden and extensive parking facilities.”
Mitchells and Butlers owns pubs and restaurants across the UK, including All Bar One and the Horseshoe Bar in Glasgow.
Creevy added: "This is an exciting opportunity, either as continued use as a restaurant/bar operation, with the possibility of specialising in steak or Italian.
"Alternatively, the property is in a highly accessible location, with extensive car parking, and may offer the opportunity for alternative use, capitalising on the large car park and ease of access, all subject, of course, to planning."
CDLH is seeking offers over £575,000 for the property or premium offers are invited for a new lease at rental offers over £49,500 per annum.
It said it expects "considerable interest in the property from both tenants and potential purchasers".
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!
