A BUYER has been found for a North-east pub and hotel being sold off by Wetherspoons as part of a national cull of bars.
The Saltoun Inn in Fraserburgh is under offer, after going on the market in October last year.

Owner JD Wetherspoon put it up for sale citing “commercial reasons”.
But Wetherspoon spokesman Eddie Gershon told the Press & Journal that an offer has been made for the premises.
The Saltoun Inn also serves as a hotel with 11 rooms and a beer garden for up to 60 customers.
The deal comes after the firm, which has 827 pubs across the UK, revealed it was selling another 22 pubs.
Wetherspoons said it was happening as part of an estate overhaul having already got rid of 28 so far this year.
However, no other premises across the North and North-east are under threat.
The Saltoun Inn pub and hotel is in a three-storey, grade B listed building that was built in 1801.
It was part of the transformation of Saltoun Square, previously called Kirk Green, into a classical town centre.
