A MUMBAI-based entrepreneur who was disappointed with his stay in the Highlands in 2018 has opened the second of three properties in the area that he acquired as a result of his visit.
The 18-bedroom Cluanie Inn at Glenmoriston in Glen Shiel, which dates back to 1787, has opened its doors following an extensive refurbishment.

The entrepreneur opened Rokeby Manor at Invergarry, formerly Craigard Guest House, recently. Whispering Pine Lodge at Spean Bridge, formerly Letterfinlay Lodge, is due to open soon.
Mr Narang said: “We are delighted to be opening the second of our Black Sheep Hotels at Cluanie Inn, which is a well-established local landmark...in the stunning Highlands.
“This follows the opening of Rokeby Manor earlier this year, and brings together our considerable experience and expertise in the hospitality sector in order to provide a distinctive and authentic experience for our guests.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
