A shopping centre in Fife is being put up for sale at auction - with a starting price of just £1.

The Postings in Kirkcaldy, which opened in 1981, has a maximum capacity of 21 stores, but currently only seven units are occupied.

Retailers based there include Farmfoods and Lloyds Pharmacy.

While the centre attracts more than 30,000 visitors each week, it is going under the hammer after suffering from more shoppers doing their business online.

A spokeswoman for the owner, Columbia Threadneedle, confirmed that bids for the building will start at £1.

Some interest from potential buyers has already been noted.

"We acquired The Postings more than 15 years ago as an income proposition," she said.

"It has since been re-positioned as a development opportunity, which does not fit the holding fund's investment strategy.

"The reserve price of £1 is generating significant attention and we expect to get a considerable amount at the auction."

Auctioneers Allsop have set February 15 as the completion date for the sale.
