The last few years have not been easy for the hospitality industry - with the cost of living crisis and soaring energy bills coming shortly after pubs, restaurants and hotels had to close due to the global pandemic.
It's led to a string of closures, as publicans and landlords are no longer able to turn a profit.
Yet the thought of owning - or at least running - your own pub is still a positive prospect for many people.
If you are thinking about taking the plunge, here are 10 currently on the market in Scotland - from local boozers to swish country inns.
5. Foundry 39
A quid will bag you the leasehold for this currently-closed pub in the West End of Edinburg. You'll need to find the cash to buy the fixtures and fittings though - along with the annual rent of at least £105,000 per year. You'll have to sell a fair few pints before you're in profit. | Google Maps
6. The Beech Tree Inn
If running a country pub has always been a dream, then The Beech Tree Inn could be just what you're looking for. Located in Dumgoyne at the gateway to the Trossach - it's just off the A81 road between Glasgow and Loch Lomond. £475,000 gets you the freehold to a village inn with cafe bar and beer garden - with play area and mini zoo. There's also a large 2-bedroom cottage. | Google Maps
7. The Phoenix
A legendary Dundee pub, located on the busy Nethergate, The Phoenix is on the market for a hefty £825,000. The current owners are retiring after over 40 years running the business. | Google Maps
8. The Beach Bar
Located on Aberdeen's Esplanade with panoramic views of the North Sea, The Beach Bar isn't just a pub - it's a full entertainment complex with axe throwing, crazy pool, electronic darts, pong connect, shuffle board, skee ball, table tennis and much more. If you think you can make a success of the business - which is currently closed - you can secure the leasehold for a cool £225,000. | Google Maps
