The much-loved Mill Inn has been n the same family since the 1930s

Andrew Wood says: “The property is available following the passing of Mr Hamish McGregor, whose family have owned it since the 1930s, so the sale is a genuinely rare opportunity to purchase a unique rural property with land. The Mill Inn has traded since the 19th century and the adjoining buildings were operated as a mill until just after the second world war.”
