An Edinburgh chippy owner is retiring after 33 years in the business as the renowned shop hits the market.
Duddingston Fry, located on Duddingston Park South, has been trading for decades and is now searching for a new owner.
The chip shop sits between Farmfoods and the Fashion Bride Wedding Alterations outlet and is on leasehold at £135,000.
A listing on Rightbiz read: "Duddingston Fry occupies a highly visible trading location on Duddingston Park South, close to its junction with Niddrie Mains Road/Newcraighall Road in the eastern suburbs of Edinburgh.
"The other end of Duddingston Park South adjoins Milton Road West which forms part of the main A1 routing which starts in Edinburgh city centre and ends 440 miles to the south in London.
"This part of Edinburgh has a wide and varied selection of housing in the surrounding suburbs of Duddingston, Bingham, Niddrie, Portobello and Craigmillar.
"Our client has owned and operated The Duddingston Fry for over 33 years and has very reluctantly placed the business on the market to allow for retirement.
"This is a very well-known and popular Edinburgh 'chippy' with a hugely loyal following which has also benefitted from the many new housing developments in the surrounding areas. The premises are kitted out to the highest standard with an exemplary level of cleanliness throughout."
The owners say the unit might be suited to a different cuisine "despite the success in its current form".
