Seven-Gen Scottish Nursery Collapses

A historic Scottish family business, spanning seven generations and two centuries, has collapsed into administration, saddled with an eight-million-dollar debt. Despite the grim outlook, all 32 jobs were saved when the company’s assets—including land, buildings, and inventory—were sold for $2.6 million to Alba Trees Limited. The sale, which included $1 million for the property, came amid severe financial strain from rising costs, heavy investments in new equipment, and punishing weather that crushed tree sales during peak season. The garden center had already been sold the prior summer for $1.7 million. While creditors may see some return, the business’s demise underscores the brutal economic pressures facing even long-established enterprises.
