MACLEOD HOTELS LIMITED
CONTRACT AWARDED
FOR MULL HOTEL
The contract for building
the first hotel in the High¬
lands and Islands Develop¬
ment Board’s £1 million
notel scheme — at Craignure,
on the island of Mull — has
been awarded to Messrs D.
and J. MacDougall Ltd.,
Building and Civil Engineer¬
ing Contractors, Oban.
Announcing this last week.
Sir James Mackay, Board
Member with special respon¬
sibility for tourism, said:
‘ ‘The Board are very pleased
that the contract has been
won by a Highland firm. D.
and J. MacDougall have a
high reputation for good
management and workman¬
ship and I am satisfied that
they will do a first class job
for us.”
Sir James added that the
new hotel was to be named
simply “ Isle of Mull Hotel.”
This would make it easy to
identify and provide certain
marketing advantages.
The 60-bedroomed hotel, to
be built at a cost of around
£300,000 on an attractive site
overlooking Craignure Bay,
is to be operated by Scottish
Highland Hotels, a well-
known company which owns
several hotels in the Highland
area.
The architects for the pro¬
ject are W. G. Crerar and
Partners, Oban, and the
quantity surveyors are Messrs
Morham and Brotchie, Edin¬
burgh and Oban.
Investigations are being
conducted in Barra into pos¬
sible sites for the construc¬
tion of the second hotel un¬
der the scheme.
