An Ayrshire businessman and cattle breeder is prepared to plough in as much as £100,000 to establish the region’s ‘market leader’ when it comes to glamping holidays.

Drongan businessman, William Kennedy, has submitted a planning application to South Ayrshire Council, seeking permission to build four glamping units and place a static caravan on agricultural fields near to Craigie Hill Quarry.

Mr Kennedy has owned the earmarked site since 2016.The land currently has a storage shed and the fields have been used to breed highland cows.

According to a planning statement in support of blueprints, the initial set-up for the business, near the tiny village of Craigie, would be as much as £100,000, while the running costs are expected to be around £30,000 per year.
