A historic boutique hotel in Fife has been placed into liquidation with all staff losing their jobs.
Ken Pattullo and Kenny Craig of Begbies Traynor have been appointed as joint liquidators of the Highlander Hotel Ltd, which traded as the Lomond Hills Hotel in Freuchie, Cupar.
Begbies Traynor said the hotel had been hit by the cost of living crisis on top of the impact of Covid lockdowns, leading to cash flow problems that meant it was no longer viable for the hotel to trade. All 17 staff have been made redundant, with liquidators promising to help staff register any claims to the Redundancy Payments Office and access support services from PACE.
