G+S added: “A true gem, this popular restaurant offers the perfect space for an owner- occupier business to thrive.

“This… can provide a new rural way of life and successful business with already healthy profits.

“Offering a charming turnkey operation, this easily managed business benefits from a healthy balance of tourist trade mixed with local clientele.

This is the perfect opportunity for someone to escape the hustle and bustle of urban life.”

Murdo Armstrong, restaurateur

Mr Armstrong explained why the current owners are selling up on the restaurant’s website.

He said: “It has been a difficult decision to bring the Harbour Restaurant to the market.

“We have had many happy years catering for both tourists and locals on the Isle of Skye, but I for one am approaching retirement. We now feel the time is right to offer our restaurant to a new owner so yes, this business is for sale.

“The Harbour Restaurant is an ideal lifestyle business opportunity which could easily be adapted to your own style whether it be restaurant or cafe.”
