THE former Highland home of the "wickedest man in the world" will become holiday accommodation under rubber-stamped plans.
B-listed Boleskine House's previous owners include Led Zepplin guitarist Jimmy Page.
But it's under occultist Aleister Crowley that it gained its notoriety due to the black magic rituals reputed to have taken place there.
Now the fire-ruined site, south of Inverness, will be transformed under plans approved by local councillors.
Two applications relating to the property, near Foyers, were passed by Highland Council today.
During deliberations, councillors were asked to disregard issues relating to previous owners as these were deemed immaterial to the current renovation plan.
This includes the reinstatement of the house and associated alterations, plus the siting of 10 holiday units, a car park and more by the Boleskine House Foundation.
The work is to go ahead subject to conditions to protect the character and qualities of the listed building.
Crowley, who died in 1947, founded the Thelema religious order and was a practitioner of what he called "magick". One newspaper called him "the wickedest man in the world".
Though the English mountaineer, hunter and poet had only a few followers during his lifetime, he became a cult figure after his death, featuring on the cover of The Beatles' Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club album.
He died in poverty and addiction in Hastings.
A fire ripped through the premises last year, following an earlier blaze in 2015.
Councillor Jimmy Gray, who chairs Highland Council’s south planning applications committee, said: "Members have considered the information that is material to planning applications in consideration of these applications.
"Full cognisance was taken from officers’ advice to set aside matters associated with previous ownership of the property which are not material in planning matters."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
