McBain's Old Shop and Bakery

Located in Low Street, Portsoy, the property is built on a plot of land which used to be a farm! The current building was completed around 1720 and has been in the ownership of the current family (the McBain?s) since 1919. It is believed it first became a bakery around 1952. The shop has not been occupied since Edgar and Marion McBain retired in 1988 but the old Scotch Oven ? which was last used in 1959 ? is now open for all to see. The shop is now owned by Edgar and Marion?s son Richard and daughter Dianne.
