Scottish star submits plans to renovate lodge on grounds of mansion in Perthshire

SCOTTISH actor Ewan McGregor has put forward plans to renovate a lodge on the grounds of a mansion in Perthshire.

The Emmy-award winning actor, who was recently given a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, has submitted an application to do up the building at his Carse of Gowrie property.

He has applied to refurbish the existing windows of the B-listed gate lodge as well as to install new double glazing units.

McGregor (above), 53, has also applied to remove the existing PVC windows and replace them with new timber sash to match what’s in place already.

Perth and Kinross Council will make a final decision on the plans in the coming months.

The latest news comes after McGregor previously submitted an application to renovate areas of his mansion.

Speaking to Architectural Digest earlier this year, McGregor said he was keen to come back to Scotland.

“I never saw it coming, it’s weird,” he said.

“I spoke to Craig Ferguson about it, he’s moved back to Scotland, and when I called him up he told me – ‘oh year, you’re just at that age’.

“You just reach an age when it’s time to go home.”
