A community pharmacy in Edzell has changed hands after being sold to Davidsons Chemists.
Edzell Pharmacy on High Street has joined the Scottish pharmacy group, expanding its portfolio to 58 pharmacies across Scotland.
The standard-hours pharmacy dispenses around 4,961 NHS prescription items each month and provides services including Pharmacy First Plus, weight loss medication and vitamin B12 replacement.
It also supports a nearby 55-bed care home, providing monitored dosage systems to around 50 residents.
The pharmacy occupies the ground floor of a two-storey mid-terraced building close to Edzell Health Centre.
It has a modern fit-out and includes a consultation room.
The business had been owned by John Fowlie since July 2014.
He decided to sell the pharmacy to focus on his other three branches in the north of Scotland.
The value of the transaction has not been disclosed.

John Fowlie, former owner of Edzell Pharmacy, said: “I have enjoyed owning Edzell Pharmacy for the last 12 years but, with my other branches being based further north, I wanted to concentrate on that area going forward.”
Allan Gordon, managing director at Davidsons Chemists, said: “We are pleased to have Edzell Pharmacy join the Davidsons Chemists group as it fits in well with our brand and core geography.”
Karl Clezy, director of pharmacy at Christie & Co, said: “This transaction marks a special milestone, as I originally brokered the sale of this pharmacy to John back in 2014.
“It has been a privilege to support him once again on this successful exit 12 years later.”
