The Braemar Gallery is a delightful art gallery in the centre of the village, much loved by locals and visitors alike and a stone’s throw from The Fife Arms Hotel, an internationally renowned destination hotel with a significant art collection including works by Picasso.

Braemar, in the heart of the Cairngorm National Park, has been voted one of the best places to live in the UK. Famed for the annual Braemar Gathering and proximity to Balmoral Castle, the village is popular with tourists year-round and is surrounded by superb scenery.

Operated as an art gallery for almost four decades and by the current owner for over twenty-five years, the property and business is being offered for sale as a going concern. Specialising in Scottish artists and printmakers whose works are displayed and sold on a commission basis, the business has an extensive and loyal customer base.

The premises include bright and airy retail areas together with a small apartment which could be used as accommodation for the new owner or staff. In addition, there is an extensive basement which has been used as a music studio and indeed the gallery itself has hosted numerous gigs which have included some notable names from Scotland’s live music scene.

Andrew Braidwood, the owner said: “I have loved every minute of my involvement with this business and the talented artists with whom I have been fortunate to work. I now wish to pursue some other interests and the time has come to pass on the baton, but I would say to anyone interested that Braemar is a unique place to live with a wonderful blend of natural beauty, rich history, vibrant culture and a wonderfully welcoming community.”

Calum Innes of Galbraith,  said “Braemar Gallery is a fantastic opportunity for someone with an interest and love of art to buy into a true lifestyle business. The cost of entry is affordable as the vast majority of stock is sold on a commission basis and the fact the property includes residential accommodation is very unusual and we consider adds to its appeal.”

The building covers 1,288 square  feet (119.83 square metres) including the main retail space, a workshop, kitchen, shower room and WC with a basement offering additional space for a variety of uses. The EPC rating (B)  is an indication of good energy efficiency.

Surrounded by hills, munros and idyllic countryside, Braemar is an ideal location for outdoor activities year-round, including winter sports at the nearby Glenshee Ski Resort.

Braemar Gallery is for sale as a going concern through Galbraith for offers in excess of £300,000
