Sale of Craigieland Scottish holiday park saves jobs

Kirstie Provan and Paul Dounis of Begbies Traynor have been appointed joint administrators of Scottish holiday park Craigieland, and have made an immediate sale of the business to Beattock Country Parks Ltd, safeguarding all jobs.

Craigieland is a 79 acre holiday park near Moffat in Dumfries and Galloway which provides a mix of over 100 static caravan holiday homes and lodges, plus facilities for motor homes, touring caravans and tents. The site's amenities include a bar, restaurant, shop and children's play area. The park enjoys a woodland setting and features a six acre loch fully stocked with trout for course fishing, and nearby golf and tennis facilities.

There is also an adjoining site, Loch View, offering potential for expansion of the park with the addition of further holiday lodges.

Kirstie Provan, Begbies Traynor partner and joint administrator, said: 'We were brought in to conduct an accelerated sales process and were quickly able to identify a purchaser. The holiday park continued trading while a buyer was sought and it was important that the sale was concluded swiftly, ensuring there was no disruption to residents and to preserve the value of the business.'
