This delightful business is situated in Glamis, a small village in Angus, 4 miles south of Kirriemuir and 5 miles south-west of Forfar. The larger cities of Dundee and Edinburgh are both located south of Glamis and are reachable within 20 minutes and 90 minutes respectively. This is undoubtedly a lifestyle business, offering the chance to own and operate in one of the most popular areas of Scotland.

Glamis attracts a huge number of visitors annually. The village is best known as the location of Glamis Castle, which was the childhood home of Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother and through its mention in the William Shakespeare play Macbeth. The Castle is home to the Earl of Strathmore & Kinghorne and is open to the public between early April and the end of October each year. There is also a popular Art Gallery and Distillery in the village.

The post office, along with the shop is an integral part of the local community positioned in the centre of the village on The Square with plentiful free parking in the surrounding area.

The tearoom is very popular during the months when nearby Glamis Castle is open to the public. Offering a selection of soups, sandwiches, teas, coffees and cakes, there is an opportunity to expand on this menu and possibly extend the opening hours.

There is a two bedroomed house that comes with the Glamis Post Office, Shop and Tearoom.  Access can be gained both from the shop and independently.  This consists briefly of two bedrooms, lounge, kitchen, bathroom and attractive garden.

Glamis Post Office, Store and Café is a fantastic opportunity for a couple/partnership looking to take on a lifestyle business in one of Scotland’s most quaint villages. A hands-on couple is ideal for running this, keeping wages to a lower level. The current owners do not sell tobacco or alcohol and trade only 5 days per week. There is scope to develop and expand what is currently on offer.
