Hotel on the shores of Loch Lomond
STAFF NEGLIGENCE BLAZE
The well-appointed hotel Cameron House at Loch Lomond had suffered a huge blaze on the morning of Dec 18th 2017 , sadly leading to the deaths of two of the hotel's guests who were on holiday. The main building was reduced to a shell when the roof collapsed
THE BUILDING
The former 18th century Mansion House & Estate was owned long term by the Dumbarton Shipbuilding Smollett family. I wasn't until 1986 that the family had sold their house and land to become a 5-Star hotel. Bought by American Investment Group KSL Partners for £75M in 2015
It has been reported that the company owning the hotel will have to Lay Off over 100 people but the main building will be rebuilt from it's embers. An enquiry report into the incident blames the lack of H&S training of staff with one member discarding open fire ashes into a bin full of paper which ignited
