Description
An account of the resource
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;" class="western">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.</p><p>?</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;" class="western">Portsoy Past & Present Community Group use the facilities as their headquarters and to house wonderful displays of photos, memorabilia and artefacts relating to Portsoy, Sandend and Fordyce. Fundraising activities are also held to promote social inclusion and encourage community spirit.?</p>
