Loch Rannoch Estate has bought the Loch Rannoch Hotel from Macdonald Hotels for an undisclosed sum.
Running of the hotel will be overseen by Nick Pattie, from Whitebridge near Fort Augustus, a director of the estate.
The new owners will keep the hotel closed until they have completed a major refurbishment and expect to reopen for Easter 2021.
The hotel has 48 bedrooms, two restaurants, a bar, plus sports and leisure facilities. It is surrounded by 85 lodges which are available for rental.
Mr Pattie said: “We are extremely excited by the opportunity to renovate the hotel and modernise and extend the facilities at Loch Rannoch for the benefit of our hotel guests, local residents, lodge owners and many regular customers.”
Gordon Fraser, group managing director of Macdonald Hotels, said: “The Loch Rannoch Hotel has been a favourite destination for Scots and international visitors alike for many years.
"We are pleased to have reached agreement on a deal which will see it continue to welcome guests from all over the world for many years to come.”
