'Important' C-listed Scottish hotel has £300k cut from asking price
Agents Christie and Co have now announced that the asking price has been cut to offers over £500,000.
The hotel's primary building is a C-Listed Victorian-styled property, which Historic Environment Scotland (HES) describes as 'by far the most prominent building in St Fillans'.

HES further calls it 'an important example of a hotel, which evolved from a small inn in the earlier 19th century through a series of additions and includes the original hall of the St Fillans Highland Society, a rare survival'.
The hotel was sold by Arran Brewery in 2021 after troubles with a fire on the property, compounded by the impact of the pandemic.
The current owner obtained planning permission to convert the site into 22 serviced apartments for holiday use, as well as developing an external building into accommodation for an on-site manager.
Agents Christie and Co said: 'The property is ideally situated and offers fantastic views across Loch Earn.

'The building previously traded as a hotel with bar, restaurant and brewery and although will now require significant investment, the potential to reinstate to its former use would be extremely rewarding for the right developer/operator.'
It also includes 10 moorings, three piers, and a private slipway which provides access to Loch Earn.
Loch Earn is a popular holiday destination in the east of the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park. It sits at the foot of the route up two Munros: Ben Vorlich and Stùc a' Chròin.

Stirling's historic businesses and personalities to be celebrated in new collaboration
Go Forth Stirling BID, Historic Environment Scotland and Stirling Council have joined forces to celebrate the role that local businesses play in local life. The tales of peop,e and historic businesses at the core of Stirling are set to be unveiled as part of a new partnership. Go Forth Stirling BID and Historic Environment Scotland (HES), backed by Stirling Council, are teaming up to honour the contribution local businesses make to community life. In the coming months, they'll be collecting photos and stories from over the years, aided by HES' new Trove platform, which boasts a vast archive of historic images. These will then be used to highlight the characters who have moulded – and continue to be at the heart of – the city's business scene. The start of the project was celebrated at Stirling Castle ahead of Scotland Loves Local Week, kicking off next Saturday, August 23, with the fitting theme of People Make Places. Go Forth Stirling is among the week's supporters. Danielle McRorie-Smith, the director of the business improvement district, said: "Local businesses - and the people behind them - are part of the story of everyone's lives. "We have fantastic businesses in Stirling, many of which are family-run and have been with us for a good number of years, thanks to the dedication of their staff and support from local people. This is a nice way to see how they've evolved and celebrate their part in our city. "Collaborating with Historic Environment Scotland is a great way not only to reflect on the personalities who have helped make the city what it is, but to look forward at how support for our local people and place is shaping a positive future too." In addition to working with Go Forth Stirling on this project, HES is also a strategic partner of Scotland's Towns Partnership, the organisation leading the Scotland Loves Local campaign. Its Trove platform is a new digital portal for the historic environment, bringing together millions of HES's unique and diverse collections of information, images, video, spatial data and archival material in one convenient location for the first time. From ancient standing stones to modern skate parks, encompasses more than 5,000 years of Scotland's history, combining designation records of Scotland's most significant historic sites and buildings, as well as educational and archival images. Chris Jones, Head of Central Region for Historic Environment Scotland, said: "It's great to have been part of the launch activities for this year's Scotland Loves Local Week. This is a really important initiative which puts the spotlight on local businesses which form a key part of the make-up of Stirling, a long tradition which goes back many years, as demonstrated in many wonderful assets seen today. "It's fitting that this took place at the castle, as not only a key symbol of the city, but also part of Stirling's retail offer, with the castle shops helping to highlight a number of Scottish businesses to the many thousands of visitors who visit each year. We very much wish everyone involved with this year's initiative well." To back the scheme, Stirling Council is exploring its extensive archives containing documents and materials spanning from the 14th century through to today. Stirling Council Leader, Cllr Gerry McGarvey, said: "The creativity, innovation and resilience of Stirling's business community have shaped the history of the city and Scotland. "This exciting project is a wonderful way to celebrate that legacy by bringing their stories to life and shining a light on the incredible people behind them. "We're delighted to support it and champion our amazing businesses and communities. I know what's uncovered will be of huge interest to many people. "It's also an opportunity to show how the Stirling region, powered by its enduring entrepreneurial spirit, is looking to the future with confidence and optimism, ready to create more history."

Historic UK bridge COLLAPSES after being smashed into by train sparking delays throughout weekend
There will now be a reduced service running this weekend TRAIN CRASH Historic UK bridge COLLAPSES after being smashed into by train sparking delays throughout weekend Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A HISTORIC UK bridge has collapsed after an engineering train smashed into it. The train crashed into the Grade II listed bridge at Lydney, in the Forest of Dean, just before 11am yesterday. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 The Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire is a former royal forest Credit: Alamy Dean Forest Railway, which runs steam trains and heritage diesel services on the line, confirmed in a statement that no one was harmed by the incident. But pictures taken of the bridge show it completely collapsed across the rail line. The area nearby was also cordoned off around the badly damaged bridge at St Mary's Halt. Dean Forest Railway has told passengers there will be a reduced service running this weekend between Norchard and Parkend. The 133-year-old Victorian lattice iron bridge at St Mary's Halt in Lydney, Gloucestershire, was only restored in 2019. It is said to be the last surviving piece of infrastructure from the historic Severn and Wye Railway. Staff and volunteers are now working with the Office of Rail and Road and the Rail Accident Investigation Branch. Further updates will be released, said the railway. The Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire is a former royal forest, dating back to before the Norman Conquest in 1066. However, it's more recently become known as a popular tourist hotspot, especially for movie buffs looking to find some of their favourite filming locations. Among them is Puzzlewood, a part of the forest known for its twisted trees, rickety bridges and more than a mile of winding pathways. It was used as a location for the filming of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The forest's film career also includes starring roles in Doctor Who, Merlin and The Huntsman among others.
