Scotland To Convert Underused Historic Buildings Into Hotels
A new report by Eve Livingston at The Guardian details the Scottish National Party’s proposal to convert a number of historical buildings into hotels along the lines of paradores luxurious yet affordable. What’s brought this on now is the desire to stimulate the Scottish economy in the wake of the pandemic. Brian McGarrigle from the Scottish Castles Association and Claire Baker of Scottish Labour seemed cautiously optimistic about the plan, while also pointing out the challenges inherent in the plan. “It seems seemed both fascinating and a really cool way to make the most of our built heritage – monasteries, castles, ruins in the hills that could be turned into high-class hotels, which would generate income, bring in tourists, create jobs, and preserve that heritage for the nation,” said Fergus Mutch, an SNP member involved with assembling the proposal. The party is set to discuss it at their conference next weekend.
