A new marina is being planned for Loch Lomond in Scotland by one of the region’s top hoteliers, as Marine Industry News reports.

The proprietor of Duck Bay Hotel and Restaurant says he has already received expressions of interest for berths in the proposed development, comprising a “prestigious marina and yacht haven”.

Alan Cawley adds that he is “committed to creating the most glamorous [such facility] ever seen on Loch Lomond”.

In addition, the restaurant premises would be extended with a new new coffee bar with floor-to-ceiling windows offering views across the loch.
