Arran Brewery has got approval from the National Park Authority on plans to open a new brewery, hotel and visitor centre in Perthshire, Scotland.
The development – on the site of the former Drummond Hotel in St Fillans – will include a 32-bedroom hotel with banqueting hall, three bars, three restaurants, visitor centre and a brewery making both lager and cider.
Commercial activity on the site, which is now part of the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park, dates back to 1807, when it was known as the Star Inn.
Arran Brewery's managing director Gerald Michaluk said: "The park authority has been fantastic and very professional in handling this development and the project will now move ahead at a very rapid pace."
The project – which is being part-financed by VisitScotland and Bank of Scotland to promote tourism – hopes to be open before major events this year such as the Commonwealth Games and Ryder Cup.
