Property details
Brown & Blacks occupies a prominent position in the heart of the historic village of Scone, just a few minutes east of Perth city centre. Situated on one of the village's main thoroughfares, the property is within easy walking distance of local amenities, established residential areas, and the world-renowned Scone Palace, making it well placed to attract both local custom and visiting tourists. Scone is one of Perthshire's most desirable and historic villages, famed as the ancient crowning place of Scottish kings and home to the iconic Stone of Destiny and the magnificent Scone Palace. Today, the village combines its rich heritage with a thriving community, offering a range of independent businesses, cafés, local shops, and excellent amenities, all set against the backdrop of the beautiful Perthshire countryside. The village enjoys excellent transport connections, with easy access to the A94 and A9, regular bus services to Perth, and onward rail links to destinations throughout Scotland. This accessibility, together with the area's year-round tourist appeal and strong local population, provides Brown & Blacks with a broad and diverse customer base. Benefiting from its central village location, outstanding visibility, and close proximity to one of Scotland's most popular visitor attractions, Brown & Blacks is ideally positioned to capitalise on both regular local trade and the significant volume of visitors drawn to Scone throughout the year.
Upon entering through the front entrance, guests are welcomed into the main bar, an inviting space centred around an impressive L-shaped bar offering a wide selection of premium drinks. High stools line the bar, creating a traditional pub atmosphere and an ideal setting for casual drinking. The bar has been tastefully appointed with a blend of exposed brickwork, painted panelled walls and wooden flooring, combining traditional character with contemporary comfort. A variety of seating options, including fixed bench seating, low-level tables and chairs, and poser tables, cater to a range of customer preferences. Televisions throughout the bar broadcast live sport and racing, contributing to the vibrant and sociable ambience. A striking floor-to-ceiling exposed brick column provides a distinctive focal point, complemented by a wooden drinking ledge and high stools, creating an informal space for guests to enjoy a drink. An attractive exposed brick fireplace with an open fire forms a further focal feature, with comfortable seating arranged around it to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. A short corridor leads through to the restaurant, with the customer toilets, jukebox and gaming machine conveniently located along the way. The restaurant is a spacious T-shaped room, attractively presented with feature wallpaper, carpeting and soft furnishings, providing a comfortable dining environment. A combination of fixed bench seating and loose tables and chairs offers flexibility for both everyday dining and larger social gatherings. A small bar positioned in one corner allows the space to operate independently, making it ideal for private functions and events. The restaurant is supported by a fully equipped commercial catering kitchen and comfortably accommodates approximately 40–50 covers.
Externally, the property offers attractive trading areas to both the front and rear. To the front is a small paved terrace with bench seating, while the rear features a spacious, partially covered beer garden with a choice of covered and open-air seating. A dedicated children's play area with a climbing frame enhances the property's appeal to families. The rear garden also provides direct access to the customer car park, which offers space for approximately 20 vehicles.
