A former solicitor has left behind his life and work in Edinburgh to start a new hospitality venture in Speyside, with four new woodland cabins at the north edge of Cairngorms National Park.
The Dell at Glenlivet began as a lockdown idea for entrepreneur Paul Cannavan and, with support from the British Business Bank’s Start Up Loans Programme and DSL Business Finance, he acquired a former clay pigeon shooting site near the Glenlivet Distillery to turn his idea into reality.
A £25,000 loan helped him to cover the costs of building the cabins.
