Hotel’s renovation is given green light

The owners of the Cameron House Hotel on the banks of Loch Lomond have been given the go-ahead to restore the building’s facade and carry out other renovation works following a devastating fire which killed two guests.

Officials from the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park Authority have approved the hotel owners’ planning application to demolish and replace parts of the main building.

Planning officer Craig Jardine said in a report that the park authority recognised the economic importance of the work to restore the five-star hotel. The fire, in December 2017, claimed the lives of guests Simon Midgley and Richard Dyson.

The building was handed back to its owners in July, but an investigation into the cause of the blaze is still continuing.
