Our beloved OHO, Hymenaeus Beta brought this story at BBC.com about the Boleskine House Foundation having £250,000 committed to it by Scotland’s National Lottery Heritage Fund to put towards restoring the interior of Boleskine House. The Foundation is currently hoping to open the property to the public in 2025. The story begins:
“A charity rebuilding a historic property overlooking Loch Ness has secured £250,000 from The National Lottery Heritage Fund.
“Over its 260-year history Boleskine House has been home to Archibald Campbell Fraser of Lovat – son of a Jacobite dubbed The Old Fox – occultist Aleister Crowley and Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page.
“A fire in 2015 destroyed 70% of the former lodge before a suspicious blaze in 2019 caused further damage.
“Boleskine House Foundation said the lottery grant would go towards the cost of restoring the interior and support its work with the local community.”
