The family that has owned Scotland’s oldest art store for nearly 200 years is seeking a saviour for the business after it went into administration. The Miller family, of Miller’s Art Shop, says competition and the taxman have made it impossible to continue to own and run the firm, founded in Glasgow in 1834.
