Scots Michelin star chef opens new fine dining restaurant at Cameron House
Graeme Cheevers returns to Cameron House almost 10 years on with a new fine-dining concept on the shores of Loch Lomond.
A Michelin-starred chef has opened the doors to his new fine-dining restaurant at luxury five-star resort Cameron House.
Acclaimed chef Graeme Cheevers, from Glasgow, made a triumphant return to Loch Lomond with the eagerly anticipated launch of Loma.
Cheevers once served as Head Chef at Cameron House under Martin Wishart more than a decade ago.
Reuniting with his roots, he has returned with his own vision which promises to push the boundaries of Scottish cuisine and elevate the resort's gastronomic status.
Housed within the stunning surroundings of Cameron House, Cheevers hopes Loma will become a new jewel in Scotland's fine-dining scene.
'I am thrilled to return to Cameron House to create Loma,' said Cheevers. 'This is an incredible opportunity to showcase Scotland's finest produce in a destination that truly embodies our country's elegance and spirit.
"Our goal is to offer guests an unforgettable dining experience, one that combines precision, creativity and warm Scottish hospitality. I hope Loma will become a must-visit for both locals and visitors alike.'
The restaurant will offer a seasonal menu championing Scotland's rich natural larder - from Loch Fyne langoustine to Argyle Estate red deer, Orkney gold beef and Perthshire strawberries.
Loma will be Cheevers second venture after opening popular restaurant Unalome in 2021 in Glasgow.
The Michelin-starred eatery is known for its modern Scottish flavours and meticulous craftsmanship.
Cheevers confirmed he will remain hands-on in both Loma and Unalome, splitting his time to ensure each kitchen maintains its standards, identity and commitment to culinary excellence.
Will Oakley, Managing Director of Cameron House, welcomed the partnership.
'We are delighted to welcome back Graeme Cheevers and collaborate with him on this exciting new venture.

Woman had to pay £20k to access her own bank account as husband was dying
Nicky Wake was left in 'limbo' as she was unable to access their joint bank account A young widow who had to pay out £20,000 to access her own bank account has issued a warning to people to be prepared when the worst happens. Nicky Wake's husband Andy died in April 2020 from Covid while he was in care. His death came a few years after he suffered multiple heart attacks that led to a catastrophic brain injury. Unable to walk, talk, or care for himself, Andy required round-the-clock specialist care in a nursing home. During that time, Nicky, 54, said she was left in 'limbo' as she was unable to access their joint bank account despite them being co-directors in their events and management company. This meant Nicky couldn't manage the business or pay herself dividends. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Andy had not appointed a legal or digital executor, prepared a will, or set up a power of attorney before his illness and death. Nicky, from Manchester, told The Mirror: 'It was an unholy mess. Andy kept all of the savings in his ISA. He joked that it was for a rainy day, and that day happened in 2017. 'It was pouring down and I couldn't access our savings when I needed it the most. I was solo parenting our son Finn, now 17, struggling with child care, while my husband was critically ill in hospital with no prognosis of a happy ending. His consultant said to me, 'your story does not have a happy end', and at the same time, I was worried about the financial implications.' While Nicky had her own current account, she relied on the savings account and was left financially stranded at the worst possible time. 'We used that account to buy our son school shoes and his birthday presents every year', she said. To regain control of their finances and the business, Nicky had to fork out over £20,000 in legal fees. Even after regaining control, she was obliged to account for every expenditure to the Court of Protection. Nicky said: 'Even though the money was jointly mine, I had to detail every penny of that in a heartbreaking report. So when I was fighting the biggest battle of my life, trying to stay alive, I was bashing needlessly. 'It was the most trying and horrid of times. I understand why the Court of Protection is in place, but it drove me to despair and the worst of all scenarios. 'I did CPR for 40 minutes to keep him alive, and at times the Court of Protection made me wish I hadn't, and that is a terrible and awful burden to carry.' She added: 'It is my fault, we should have had those grown-up conversations and we should have got a power of attorney in place, but we didn't.' Nicky didn't gain full access to their business until Andy died. In addition, Nicky was unable to access his social media accounts - a place where he had long connected with friends. She struggled to guess passwords and wished she could inform his friends about his condition and share regular updates. Contacting customer service representatives on social media platforms was 'impossible'. Nicky added: 'Every other day, a Facebook memory pops up with Andy, it's a beautiful yet heartbreaking reminder. 'I would have loved to have created a post for the love of Andy and put that on his account, but I never got the chance to do that.' She also lost messages from her husband. She said: 'I lost every WhatsApp conversation I had with him, and you don't understand how heartbreaking and painful that is. Not being able to go back and look at those memories. 'You need to back those up, save your WhatsApp conversations. It was something I had to experience.' Nicky is now urging everyone to keep an updated will, establish a power of attorney, designate legacy contacts for all digital and social accounts, back up crucial chats like WhatsApp to the cloud, and keep a secure, accessible record of account passwords. 'There are a lot of important assets we need to keep and treasure. 'We need to be having those difficult conversations, but we don't talk about it enough. You don't think it's going to happen to you, but then it does.' Reflecting back, she added: 'It was heartbreaking, horrible, kind of limbo. I felt like I was fighting battles on every front. To have to deal with admin, lack of access, financial worries, on top of a life-changing tragedy, was beyond belief. I used to wake up and couldn't believe what had happened to our beautiful family, I still don't.' Following this time, Nicky was inspired to launch a platform designed to help others like her - widows and widowers - in finding companionship, love, and hope following profound loss. Research Manager at SunLife, Jordan Flynn, said: 'If you're thinking about leaving instructions for your funeral or writing a will, it's a good time to leave clear instructions for your digital estate. Not doing so can mean loved ones are locked out of important accounts or left unsure about whether to memorialise, delete, or manage your social media accounts. 'Some people may like the idea of their profiles and photos remaining online for loved ones to remember them by. But others are uncomfortable with these accounts being visible when they're no longer around to manage them.' Jordan shared her top five tips on how to take control of your digital legacy. Digital executor: 'Appoint someone you trust to manage your online accounts and digital assets when you die. This can be the executor of your will or a separate person with digital know-how.' List online accounts: 'Make a comprehensive list of all your online accounts, and make sure you include everything from social media and email to online banking, cloud storage, and entertainment services. If you have appointed a digital executor you won't need to list all your passwords, just the username or email address associated with each account.' Legacy contact: 'Most major platforms have a specific feature where you can appoint someone as your digital executor within your account profile. For example, Apple has a 'Legacy Contact', Facebook also has a Legacy Contact, and Google has Inactive Account Manager – it is something you have to opt into, so make sure you have taken the necessary steps.' Document digital wishes clearly: 'You need to make sure there is evidence of what you want to happen to your digital legacy – there can be no grey areas. Clearly state whether you want accounts deleted, memorialised, or passed on, and who should receive sentimental content like photos or videos.' Store instructions securely: 'You need to make sure your wishes are securely stored – ideally, include your digital instructions in your will to ensure they're legally binding. Alternatively, you can store them with your solicitor or in a secure place known to your executor.' Jordan added: 'Preparing for your digital legacy is no longer optional in the internet age. It's a simple step that can save your loved one's unnecessary distress - and ensures your online identity reflects your wishes, even after you're gone. 'SunLife's Digital Wishes Pack ( includes everything you need to know about listing online accounts, deciding what should happen to each one, and leaving clear instructions for loved ones – download it for free today.'

Oasis fans offered tips to avoid travel chaos after gigs at Murrayfield Stadium
Liam Gallagher and Noel Gallagher will be at Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh on the Oasis Live '25 Tour, with fans of acts like Taylor Swift offering advice to concertgoers Fans of Oasis have been offered advice from supporters of acts like Taylor Swift and Robbie Williams ahead of the band's reunion tour. It comes ahead of Liam Gallagher and Noel Gallagher playing gigs at Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh. There's concern about getting home from the venue, which has a capacity of 67,000, in August. It comes following the experiences of Taylor's fans, who grappled with transport difficulties last June when the international singer dazzled crowds over three nights at the venue during her Era's Tour. Now, as the countdown to the Oasis gigs on August 8, 9 and 12 continues, fans of the band have been issued advice, as reported by the Daily Record. It includes them having been dissuaded from using Haymarket station – advice shared on a Reddit thread entitled: "People of Glasgow that are going to Oasis in Edinburgh, how are we getting home?'' The user sparked discussion about how people that live outside of Edinburgh are planning to get home. The post read: "As per title, are people chancing being able to get a train home? A coach? A million pound taxi? I'm really not sure of the best plan of action..." One Swiftie from Glasgow suggested: "Tip from when I was at Taylor Swift last year. Everyone will be trying to get a train from Haymarket, and it'll be f***ing mobbed." Advising instead: "Head to Waverly (either via tram or just walk) and get on the train there, it'll be significantly quieter, and you'll likely get a table seat as well, rather than being stuck standing." There's also been advice from someone who attended Robbie Williams' gig in Edinburgh, where he kicked off his BRIT POP world tour at the end of last month. Offering their advice, they said: "We were at Robbie Williams on Saturday and Citylink buses were pretty decent. "Drop you right outside the stadium and pick you up just a little bit further away be prepared for a bit of [a] wait though because it's busy. So the concert finished at 10:30 and we were on the bus by about 11:30." Get Oasis updates straight to your WhatsApp! As the hotly anticipated Oasis reunion tour grows closer, the Mirror has launched its very own Oasis WhatsApp community where you'll get all the latest news on the Gallagher brothers and all the information you'll need in the run up to the gigs.

Another person chimed in to the discussion reassuring revellers about late-night transportation between cities: "The buses run 24 hours between Glasgow and Edinburgh. I don't think it will be that bad trying to get home via public transport." There was however a word of caution about high demand to book ahead from someone else. They wrote: "Make sure to book the [CityLink] 900 and AIR buses ahead of time, they fill up quickly." Another person suggested similarly, writing in part of their response: "Citylink run all night. Happy Bus run private coach transfers from Buchanan to the event and back." A different user offered a more unconventional tip for catching a quieter bus: "Head to a club till you're completely knackered then head for a bus (they run 24/7 as previously mentioned). By that time most folk will have f***ed off already." Oasis fans are buzzing with anticipation as the band is set to rock Murrayfield Stadium with three gigs this summer on August 8, 9 and 12. The much-awaited reunion tour marks the first time the Gallagher brothers will share the stage in 16 years, with the opening show set to take place in Cardiff on July 4.
