An isles pub has “temporarily closed” after alleged financial irregularities were uncovered by its operators.
The doors of the Taversoe Inn in Rousay will remain shut to all but pre-arranged accommodation bookings, after those running the popular haunt on behalf of its operators, the Rousay, Egilsay and Wyre Development Trust, had their contracts terminated.
“This follows the termination of the arrangements in place with the individuals who had been operating The Taversoe on behalf of the Trust.
“Recent circumstances, including financial irregularities, have come to light and, having taken legal advice, we consider that it was incumbent upon us to take immediate steps to protect the charity’s assets.
“We are grateful to the local community for your patience during this challenging time.”
