Caledonian Travel acquires historic Dreadnought Hotel in Scotland
The 17th-century establishment, acquired by Caledonian Travel, is located in the tourist town of Callander.
This sale marks the second transaction between the property adviser and the hotel's selling family.
Dreadnought Hotel, known for its traditional Highland interior and stone exterior, features 61 ensuite letting rooms, the McNab restaurant and bar, a small events room and a beer garden.
Nestled next to a main tourist route leading to Lochearnhead, the hotel benefits from its proximity to Glasgow and Edinburgh, which are 35 and 50 miles from the property, respectively.
The previous owners, who purchased the property in 2017, decided to sell due to retirement. The property has potential for extension and renovation.
This sale price of the Dreadnought Hotel has not been disclosed.
Christie & Co associate director Tony Spence said: 'We were delighted to act for our clients in the sale of the hotel, which now allows them to retire from the hospitality trade. This was the second hotel where Christie & Co have acted for the family and we are grateful they had trust in us to deliver.
'There remains good activity within the market and we would urge any vendors who are considering a sale or purchase to get in touch to discuss further.'
In related news, Christie & Co was also involved in the sale of the Brantwood Country Hotel in the Lake District, UK, last month.
Additionally, the company announced it is facilitating the sale of Bournemouth West Cliff Hotel & Spa, an independent property in the seaside resort of Bournemouth.

Taiwan's Stock Index Set for Record High as AI Optimism Expands

The gauge is now up 40% from an April low, driven by a rally in Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., the world's biggest contract chipmaker and a key supplier of Nvidia Corp.

New York state's headed deep into the red — but Albany will ‘rely' on denial
State Comptroller Tom DiNapoli just sounded a blaring alarm about the state's cash shortfall — but the rest of the state's leadership wants the fiscal crisis kept quiet. They all knew trouble was coming, but the Legislature left Albany for the year having given Gov. Kathy Hochul the power to cut as needed. That keeps the cutting out of the headlines, and (lawmakers hope) hangs any blame on the gov. She's asked state agencies to find $750 million in savings in the current-year budget. But next year, the nut jumps to $3 billion. Longer-term, per DiNapoli, the picture grows even more distressing: Albany is facing its worst cash shortfall, as a share of spending, since the Great Recession — with $34.3 billion in red ink through 2029. New York's 'softening economy' and preprogrammed 'spending growth' already guarantee a growing gap, he warns, and future 'drastic reductions in federal aid' may make the shortfall even worse than the comptroller now projects. So he urges 'policymakers' to 'put the fiscal health of the State on a more sustainable, structurally balanced path.' If only. For years, Hochul & Co. have OK'd billions in future spending, with nary a care about available cash: As DiNapoli reports, state-funded disbursements through 2029 are on course to soar 13.9% over current levels, while revenue ticks up just 4.6%. Nor will it be possible to jack up taxes to plug the hole, not without fueling a mad rush by high-earners and job-creators out of state: Hochul (and Gov. Andrew Cuomo before her) already goosed taxes to the hilt, making New York's tax burden the nation's highest. That's why the gov is on record opposing tax hikes — though that hasn't always stopped her from giving way to the Legislature's demands for 'revenue enhancements.'

Check out more newsletters These gaps are no real surprise: Hochul, Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie and Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins all knew months ago what was in store, as billions in federal pandemic-relief funds were set to run out and the Trump team made no secret of its intent to rein in aid to states. Their response: Who cares? We'll worry about it later. Bet on the denialism to keep on dominating Albany: Hochul is running for re-election next year, with strong incentive to depend on gimmickry to paper over the state's deficit until after November — and so make the longer-term problem even worse. This warning may be the loudest DiNapoli offers for the next 16 months, as his fellow Democrats push him to collude with Hochul in denying that New York is staring at its worst budget crisis in years.
