Takeover bid accepted for £2m Callander hotel that hosted The Beatles
New owners are set to take over a 15-bedroom Callander hotel that once hosted The Beatles.
The Roman Camp Hotel, off the Main Street, is where the Fab Four stayed in 1964 between concerts in Edinburgh and Glasgow.
The historic hotel and wedding venue was originally built in 1625 as a hunting lodge of the Drummond family overlooking the River Teith.
It was bought from the then-owner Reginald Balliol Brett, the second Viscount Esher, by Sir James and Lady Wilson of Airdrie in 1938, who developed the gardens and turned the house into a hotel.
The Courier can reveal that a buyer has been found, three months after it was put on the market for almost £2m.
In 1964, they were in Scotland on two separate occasions. Their UK Spring tour took them to Edinburgh (ABC) and Glasgow (Odeon) on 29 and 30 April. They returned as part of their UK Autumn tour and performed in Edinburgh (ABC), Dundee (Caird Hall) and Glasgow (Odeon) between 19 and 21 October.
Eric Brown, 64, said: “We have accepted an offer from a buyer who is looking to take over operations of the hotel in late February or early March.They want to retain it as a hotel and invest and develop it. Things are looking very promising for the people who work here and also for the local community.It will be a good project going forward.”
