Two people have died after fire tore through a five-star hotel on the banks of Loch Lomond. Police Scotland confirmed the deaths after the blaze broke out at the luxury Cameron House hotel in the early hours of Monday.

Three others were taken to hospital suffering from smoke inhalation, but were later discharged.

More than 200 guests were evacuated from the hotel - which was "extensively damaged" - while emergency services took control of the area.

Firefighters searched the building and tackled flames in the roof of the hotel from an aerial unit.

Police and fire officers are now investigating the cause of the fire.
