Shell - High Street, Beauly, Inverness-shire, Scotland IV4 7BP circa 1970
In the present day the remaining part of this one time bigger garage site is Aird Motors, Subaru dealers. Where the forecourt was is now a modern building with a couple of businesses operating from there but in the earliest Streetview we can see a JCB digger having just cleared the last remnants of the forecourt.
Their website has a fairly comprehensive history of the site with some more recent images showing the site still Shell branded into the 1990s, indeed the forecourt was totally refurbished in 1993 so one imagines they must have continued to sell Shell petrol up to the end of the century at least. One colour photo from earlier shows a rather more ramshackle forecourt and an indication of why a new one was built in 1993.
