The business, which specialises in Scottish jewellery, and a variety of fine items incorporating local materials including Iona marble and Ross of Mull granite, sells principally to visitors to Tobermory though the local market is also firm.

Proprietors Philip Campbell and his wife Shiona, said: “We have traded successfully for over 25 years, but, with retirement now approaching, I think, with some reluctance that it is time to pass on what we have achieved to a new generation.”

Margaret Mitchell of DM Hall who is overseeing the marketing process, added: “The picturesque harbour town of Tobermory is renowned for its colourful painted buildings and the property enjoys a prominent position with magnificent and uninterrupted sea views.

“Mull has a local resident population of approximately 3,000 but this is heavily supplemented by a high influx of tourist visitors all year round but especially during the summer months. The island enjoys stunning coast lines, outstanding natural beauty and rich Scottish heritage. Visitors come to enjoy wildlife spotting and other outdoor activities, as well as visiting local whisky and gin distilleries.

“Our client’s property comprises a traditional end terrace ground floor retail unit. Internally the property has an open plan retail area which is fully fitted with display cabinets and counters to the front with a small workshop located at the back of the retail area. To the rear of the property there is a kitchen/ store room with staff toilets.”

She added: “This business is being brought to the market as a result of retirement. Mr and Mrs Campbell have owned and operated the business, which is well known in the area and has customers traveling great distances to visit over the past years.

“Included in the sale are all fixtures and fittings associated with the business and is an ideal opportunity for someone entering the market. Offers over £180,000 are invited for the property, fixtures and fittings. Stock is available by separate negotiation.
