We are excited to announce that we have completed our transition to become an "employee-owned" business (the first hotel in Scotland to have done so), with all 160 members of team now becoming owners. "Employee ownership" will give the entire team a stake in the continued growth of the business and ensure that we continue on our journey in which we strive to lead the way in Scottish tourism and create amazing experiences for our guests. The management team and board of Auchrannie will remain unchanged and we can assure all of our guests the usual warm welcome and five-star customer service awaits the next time you visit us.
