A 14th Century castle in High Blantyre, on the outskirts of Glasgow, has been rescued from ruin and is set to open in spring next year as a luxury hotel, restaurant and event venue managed by Inverlochy Castle Management International (ICMI).
Businessman Steve Timoney and his wife Alison Reid-Timoney bought Crossbasket Castle in 2011, a year after it was listed on Scotland’s Buildings At Risk Register.
Over the last five years the couple have invested over £9m restoring the building to its former glory as one of the area’s most beautiful historic homes.
They have also added a Grand Ballroom to the castle, which overlooks the stunning waterfalls on the River Calder and accommodating up to 250 event guests.
