High Street, Aberlour, Moray

A rare opportunity to acquire a versatile development site in the heart of Aberlour, one of Speyside’s most popular tourist villages. This freehold property features a former automated petrol station with convenience store, a substantial warehouse/workshop, and a spacious two-bedroom cottage—all set on a well-positioned plot with direct frontage onto the A95, the main route linking Aberlour and Elgin.

Property Highlights
- Prominent site with excellent visibility and access for both vehicles and pedestrians on the A95, offering strong passing trade and exposure
- Formerly operated as a self-service petrol station and shop, the site includes 24-hour fuel pumps, modern pay-at-pump facilities, and ample forecourt parking.

- Large attached warehouse/workshop, perfect for storage, light industrial, or further retail/service use; easily adaptable to suit a range of business models.
- The two-bedroom cottage provides desirable owner/manager accommodation or could be let for additional income
- Additional development land to the rear offers further potential (subject to planning consents)—enabling expansion of the retail or residential elements
- Secure, flexible freehold tenure.

Location:

Nestled in the desirable village of Aberlour—famed for its whisky heritage, scenic riverside walks, and as the celebrated home of Walker’s Shortbread and the renowned Aberlour Distillery. This sought-after Speyside location attracts year-round tourism, with local landmarks including The Macallan Estate just over three miles away. Elgin, a vibrant regional centre with excellent schools, shopping, and connectivity, is within a fifteen-mile drive.

Business & Development Potential

Currently not trading, the property offers a blank canvas for new owners to re-establish the fuel and retail business, let the existing facilities, or pursue alternative commercial and residential uses. Previously, the site generated significant turnover and benefited from competitive fuel supply terms. The expansive plot and flexible layout are ideal for repurposing to capitalise on Aberlour’s tourism, retail, and residential demand.

Summary of Opportunity

This is an exceptionally flexible proposition—suitable for operators or investors seeking a prominent multi-use site in a thriving tourist hub in the Moray Speyside region, renowned for its whisky, heritage attractions, and scenic beauty. Early enquiry and viewing recommended.
