The loss of a 25-bedroom guesthouse has been lamented as a victim of both the oil slump and new competition by councillors who have agreed it can be transformed into family homes.
Lairhillock Lodge, near Stonehaven, closed for almost a year, and its owner Jenny Ironside has now been given approval to extend the building and turn it into two three-bedroom and three four-bedroom homes, of which one will be allocated as affordable housing.
