Edinburgh sandwich shop and cafe Graze has changed hands after its leasehold went on the market for £100,000.
The shop on the Grassmarket has seating for 10 people inside and 10 outside and attracts a high volume of tourists in the Old Town.
Previous owner Helen Fergie had run it for four years but has sold up to focus on other business commitments.

New owner Rouein Hajirpirlou has a family business which operates Miros Cantina Mexican restaurant on the capital's Rose Street and The Castle Arms bistro on Johnston Terrace. He plans to continue to operate it as a sandwich deli shop, with a view to introducing a street food menu.
Tony Spence, business agent at Christie & Co who handled the sale, said, “This is a great business in a prominent location within Edinburgh city centre and as expected, Graze on Grassmarket generated a huge amount of interest from the outset, culminating in a successful sale to an experienced local buyer.

"We are delighted to have a achieved this sale on behalf of Helen and wish Rouein and his family the best in taking over this business, which we are sure will be a success like their others.
“Demand within Edinburgh for similar businesses, with a strong offering and good location, remains high as the city continues to grow, with both tourist and corporate trade increasing demand.”
