A third-generation butcher shop has been sold as the family retires from the business.
Cornerstone Business Agents said the high-turnover butcher founded in 1932 has an “exceptional reputation within local community and beyond” and has been sold to another food business.
David Higgins, of Cornerstone, said: “It has been an absolute pleasure handling the sale of this business and property in Oban on behalf of Alister and Sally Jackson.
“Best wishes to Lochaber Larder who have obtained a wonderful business to go with their established operation in Fort William.”
The shop was founded by Mr Jackson's grandfather and uncle.
The agent also said: “Jackson Butchers occupies a prominent trading location at the southern end of George Street, the main commercial trading thoroughfare in the popular Argyll town of Oban on Scotland’s west coast.
“George Street overlooks the promenade and harbour and offers a wide range of retail and hospitality businesses both for locals and visitors.” The shop won awards including for its Lorne sausage.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
