The new owner of one of Glasgow's oldest pubs, which is set to reopen, has been revealed.
Christie & Co has announced it has successfully secured a new tenant for the Strathduie Bar.
The venue - which is located on Blackfriars Street in the Merchant City - is set to reopen this spring after being sold.
The firm says the lease for the bar has been acquired by Fraser McIlwraith who, with his team, plans to reopen the pub and revitalise the pub with a modern, fresh approach while still keeping its traditional feel.
The bar is known for having a rich history dating back to 1893.
Fraser said: “We’re thrilled to welcome everyone back to Strathduie Bar. Our team have worked tirelessly to create a space that honours the history of the venue, while also embracing the excitement of right now.”
“Whether you're joining us for a lunchtime pint, a casual evening with friends or celebrating a special occasion, we're committed to providing an unforgettable experience for each and every guest."
Simon Watson, Business Agent at Christie & Co said: "On behalf of our client, I am delighted to have acquired experienced hospitality operators to revitalise this fantastic pub.
"Fraser and his team bring a wealth of experience and I wish them all the success with their new venture."
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!
