It is with a heavy heart that Laggan announce the closure of its hillside Bistro Gather,to the public. Gather is situated near Gatehouse of Fleet in Dumfries and Galloway , the closure will happen on Monday, 27th January 2025.
This decision comes as part of a strategic restructure to ensure the long-term resilience and balance of the business amidst ongoing pressures from the government and challenges within the hospitality industry.
Going forward, Gather will transition to become an exclusive-use venue for weddings and events held at Laggan. During these occasions, Gather will remain a cherished space for guests to enjoy breakfasts and private dining.
Out with these bookings, Gather will be available for private hire and seasonal ticketed events only.
“We are deeply grateful to our loyal customers who have supported us throughout the years at Gather,” said Duncan McConchie, Director of Laggan. “This has been an extremely difficult decision, but it is necessary to adapt to the current hospitality climate. We are proud of what Gather has accomplished in bringing people together and contributing to local charities through our Charity of the Month initiative.”
In addition to these changes, Laggan’s Seaview Snugs will remain open as usual, as will their sister hotel, The Murray Arms in Gatehouse of Fleet.
