A HISTORIC Scottish inn dating back to the 18th century has been put up for sale.
Property agent Graham + Sibbald is handling the sale of The Mormond Inn in Strichen in Aberdeenshire.
The “charming rural inn” dates back to the late 1700s and provides a “vast assortment of accommodation” as well as benefiting from a large beer garden with views of the River Ugie.

Graham + Sibbald said that the location also helped with the inn’s popularity as it is situated on the Formartine and Buchan Way, which connects Strichen to both Fraserburgh and Maud.
Hotel and leisure agent with Graham + Sibbald Katie Tait commented: “The availability of Mormond Inn offers a brilliant opportunity for a new tenant or owner to operate a traditional inn, set in a lovely location with scope to expand the business by repurposing the owner’s accommodation back into letting bedrooms.”
Offers of around £225,000 are being invited for the property and Graham + Sibbald has said the sellers may consider leasing the premises.
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!
