no easy answer - there are some adaptors available that bolt on to the v brake mount and axle.
Get cynic-al to knock something up for you. 😯
That frame is a perfect candidate for the the specialized disk adapter. It mounts to V post and a hole on the dropout. You'll need to drill the hole but its a large flat dropout so it won't be tricky. The hard bit will be finding one

didn't hope used to do a similar mount as well?
Most, if not all, of the other disk adapters mount to the axle and that makes it a faff to take the wheel out.
A2Z used to do one also.
Is the frame any good?? I considered getting a similar thing for an old V Braked frame I had. Decided against it as the frame isn't necessarily able to take the stress from the disc brakes, as it wasn't designed to.
Also I notice that the frame hasn't a replaceable mech hanger.
Is a replacement frame an option? Rather extreme, but still sensible..
thanks all, might have to re-think plans, the frame was a gift so no losses there. Might give single speed a go!
