Noro virus investigation at Gleneagles
Health chiefs are investigating a suspected case of noro virus at Scotland’s famous Gleneagles Hotel.
According to the Press Association, NHS Tayside said more than 100 people connected to the five-star resort suffered symptoms of the illness – sickness and diarrhoea – last week.
Dorothy Welsh, marketing director at Gleneagles, said this weekend: "The numbers affected were very small but the moment we were aware of the outbreak we contacted the authorities.
"The vast majority of the guests affected were back home by that time. It’s business as usual and we are fully booked this weekend."
No new cases have been reported.
According to the Scottish Daily Record, Thompson Solicitors have set up a hotline for victims seeking to recover costs including medical expenses and loss of earnings.
The famous golf hotel has won several awards and is home to Scotland’s only two-star Michelin star restaurant, Andrew Fairlie at Gleneagles.
