Shepherd Chartered Surveyors’ latest commercial property auction will feature 24 commercial properties and development land located across Scotland going under the hammer in a live-streamed auction on Thursday 17th October.

Amongst the lots for sale is a unique opportunity to acquire a former Police Box in Edinburgh. Much interest is anticipated in this quirky lot.

The box is located immediately off the busy crossroads between Cowgate, Pleasance, Holyrood Road and St Mary’s Street within the popular Old Town district of Edinburgh – a position at the heart of the world-famous Edinburgh International Festival.

This vibrant location benefits from high levels of vehicular and pedestrian traffic being a popular commuter route and a popular student district with the University of Edinburgh’s Holyrood campus being situated a short distance away.

The box is situated just a three-minute walk from the Royal Mile – the bustling heart of the Old Town. The police box presents a unique opportunity to acquire a sought-after piece of street furniture in an ever-popular location in the heart of Edinburgh’s Old Town.

Originally designed and constructed in the 1930s, this iconic feature of Edinburgh’s history could be re-purposed and relocated to another location to provide for example, a garden office / bar or a coffee kiosk, food stall or something else entirely.

Acting on behalf of Forestry Land Scotland, Shepherd is offering two separate sites for sale in Fearnoch Argyll and St Bride’s Church and Churchyard, Alford, Aberdeenshire.

If you dream of owning a property on a Scottish island, the former Tourist Information Centre in Bowmore, Isle of Islay may be for you. The island is renowned for its whisky heritage having nine distilleries.

In Dumfries there is a former primary school with scope for redevelopment subject to planning, with picturesque views over the River Esk and surrounding hills.

Acting on behalf of Railway Paths Shepherd is offering two sites for sale, in Mount Vernon, Glasgow and Newcraighall, Edinburgh.

Located just outside Inverness is Dunain House, a substantial ‘C’ Listed stone building set within a 5.85-acre site. In the pleasant rural setting of Port of Monteith, is a former Distribution Service Reservoir site being sold on behalf of Scottish Water.

Steve Barnett, managing partner at Shepherd Chartered Surveyors, said: “Auctions offer the ability to sell all types of land and commercial property through our expansive network while providing transparency and simplicity of the process.

We anticipate interest to not only emerge from within the local and national market but bidders to emerge from outwith the UK given our far-reaching marketing campaigns.”
