Scorrabrae was originally ran as a shop...horse and cart gathering stores from ships coming in at ancient pier directly below at the Round church. It was altered to a more modern general stores selling goods and petrol..A hub of the village. The original school oposite. I bought it in 2001 and ran it as a pub restaurant.for several years before two other establishments where built within a mile of me.Then worked as a sports massage therapist and partly ran the house as self catering, while bringing up my children. I have recently joined bookings and have enjoyed working with them inviting lovely people internationally year round to The Scorrabrae...I am constantly improving Scorrabrae and look forward welcoming you soon..you can now enjoy Scorrabrae as a holiday let with your own private lounge and kitchen sleeping up to a maximum of 10 people.
