The heartbroken mother of a man killed in hotel fire hopes answers will finally be given more than four years after the tragedy.

A fatal accident inquiry date has been set after a hotel fire at the Cameron House Hotel in Loch Lomond on December 18, 2017. Simon Midgley, 32, and his partner Richard Dyson, 38, both died in the blaze.

Simon's mum, Jane Midgley, from Leeds, was 'heartbroken' and called for further action after it was found out that the company behind the hotel failed to implement the correct fire safety protocols. One of the porter's, Christopher O'Malley admitted to placing a plastic bag of ash inside a cupboard which caused the fire.
