The former TUI store on Elgin’s High Street which has lain empty for five months could soon be brought back to life. In December, the shop at 107-109 High Street closed down suddenly. The prominent empty ground and first-floor retail unit has since been on the market to rent for offers over £28,500 per annum. The retail unit set within a B-listed building is currently laid out as an open plan sales area with an office, storage space and staircase.
