Peeblesshire MP David Mundell recently opened the new Peebles office of Walker Scott Ireland, Chartered Surveyors and Estate Agents.
Mr Mundell said “I am delighted to support new businesses within the town and to see this High Street building transformed into the bright and welcoming office that it is. Many of us will remember what a blight it was, being empty for so long, so it is great to see it all done up and have a new business here on the High Street.
He continued: “I wish Michael all success with his new venture and am delighted to be doing the honours of officially opening the office.” Managing Director Michael Ireland said: “Although we have been up and running for a few weeks now, I was keen to have an official opening and was delighted that David could spend some time with us and hear about what we do as a business and what we have done to bring the building back to life. “I am very grateful to him to have taken time out of his busy schedule to come and see us.”
