Congratulations

As we balance on the cusp between the old year and the new, we have the opportunity to look in both directions. We can reflect on our achievements in 2017 and anticipate the promise of 2018. Here is the chance to redefine resolutions. For example, have you registered to attend the 2018 Australian Clan Cameron Gathering?
Yes? Congratulations. You have both achieved a goal, and can now anticipate possibly renewing old friendships and certainly forming new ones.
Not yet? Then you have the opportunity of an early achievement of a goal in the New Year. Be proactive; register for the Gathering before the New Year takes flight.
Any questions? Need a Registration form? Contact us via CameronGathering2018@gmail.com ... See more

From Lochaber Life newsletter, Dec 2017.

Andy Roger, resort director for Cameron House Hotel, has paid fulsome tribute to the emergency services for their response to yesterday’s fire.

“The very swift actions of the emergency services yesterday undoubtedly prevented further tragedy and I cannot begin to thank them for their bravery, compassion and professionalism.

“Everyone associated with Cameron House Hotel is still coming to terms with the events of yesterday and we are all hugely conscious that two people tragically lost their lives in the fire. Their families and friends are foremost in our thoughts as we co-operate fully with the investigation teams to try to establish the circumstances surrounding this terrible incident.

“The emergency services were on the scene long into the night and I cannot praise their efforts highly enough. They are true heroes. The firemen bringing out a couple and their young child by ladder from a second-floor room was a heart-stopping moment for all those who witnessed it.

“We’re also enormously grateful for the many, many offers of practical support and good wishes from the UK hospitality industry and also from the local community, which has rallied around to help. It’s been a humbling experience, but we are a small, tight-knit community on Loch Lomond and a response like that is typical of our many friends and neighbours.

“We’ve made arrangements for the vast majority of our guests to travel home or to continue with their breaks and we also thank them for their enormous patience and enduring good spirits at what was a very upsetting time.

“Lastly, I’d like to pay special tribute to all the Cameron House staff who have shown an enormous degree of care and teamwork throughout the last two days. Nothing has been too much trouble for them and, at all times, they have had the best interests of our guests and the many members of the emergency services at heart. I’m extremely proud of them.” ...

At approximately 6:40am there was a large fire at Cameron House Hotel. Emergency services were alerted and guests were evacuated to the nearby Boat House Restaurant while Scottish Fire & Rescue, Scottish Ambulance Service and Police Scotland arrived on scene.

Tragically, the authorities have confirmed two fatalities from the fire. In addition, three individuals were transported to the local hospital, but have since been discharged. The safety and well-being of our guests, employees and neighbours is our first priority, and our deepest condolences are with the families of those affected.

We are working closely with the authorities to determine the cause of the fire, and to provide support to our guests and the families of those affected. ... See more
