The couple are planning to demolish the derelict 1920s bungalow currently in place and build a two-storey, three-bedroom timber lodge plus a boathouse, jetty and other outbuildings.
A source insisted all work will be "in keeping with what is already on the island" and that Inchconnachan will play part in the £1.4billion Soho House empire.
Public rights of way will be maintained and non-native plant species rooted out on the 103-acre landmass, 20 miles from Glasgow, which the aristocratic Colquhoun clan owned for centuries.
