Rose Leslie's brother banned from using bothy on family's country estate as an Airbnb

-

 It's an estate that drew the world’s gaze when it hosted the celeb-filled wedding party for Game of Thrones stars Rose Leslie and her husband Kit Harington.

However, an Airbnb within the lavish grounds of Wardhill Castle and run by Ms Leslie’s brother has had its licence cancelled amid concerns over the property’s water.

William Leslie operates the accommodation in the grounds of Wardhill Castle, the 12th Century family seat near Inverurie in Aberdeenshire, where sister Rose was married in 2018.

Successive descendants of Clan Fraser of Lovat have owned the idyllic property for centuries.

Mr Leslie and his family live in a wing of the Castle, letting out the further eight bedrooms, dining room and library to wealthy fee-paying guests.

However, it is the quality of the water in a separate two-bedroom bothy on the castle’s 750 acres of grounds which forced officials at Aberdeenshire Council to take action.

They discovered raised nitrate levels in the building’s water supply. 

A report to the council’s licensing sub committee last week said Mr and Mrs Leslie had failed within nine months to show that the water is drinkable.

Officials had suggested to the couple that they instal a nitrate filtering system and even indicated that there could be grant money available to them, should they apply.

However, things came to a head at Friday’s council meeting. The report said the couple were refusing to let officials inspect the source of the water on ‘security’ grounds.

  Prince Harry's security issues were 'examined repeatedly' by the courts,   Buckingham Palace   has said in a blunt response to his claims it was an 'establishment stitch-up'.  The  Duke of Sussex  tonight launched a series of scathing attacks on the  Royal Family , saying he has been cut off from  King Charles  who 'won't speak to him'.  He revealed that he 'doesn't know how long his father has left', will not bring his wife or children back to the UK - and said he had had 'so many disagreements' with his family, some of whom 'may never forgive' him for writing a book.

  Following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, the Royal Family were keen to put on a show of unity.  But their choice of display has been described by Kate as 'one of the hardest things' she has ever had to do -  and Meghan hasn't been seen on UK soil since.  During the national mourning period,  Prince Harry  and  Prince William  observed the tributes and spoke to members of the public outside Windsor Castle   - just as they had outside of Buckingham Palace when their mother died.

The shocking reason the Spice Girls have reunited WITHOUT Victoria Beckham: Insiders tell KATIE HIND how the band are back rehearsing and are even planning a tour... but haven't bothered to get in touch with Posh

  It may come as a surprise that, as the band are busily trying to put together another reunion tour, there is still one name missing from the line-up: Victoria, the most famous of all the Spice Girls.  So what's the reason for her being left out of the band's current project, which they hope will culminate into a string of concerts across the globe next year?  https://amzn.to/3YdCV0X For after decades of tension and animosity, the four other Spice Girls - Mel B, Mel C, Geri Horner and Emma Bunton - are again back working with their creator and former manager.  It's all in the hope that the foursome can embark on a potentially lucrative tour to mark the 30th anniversary of their 1996 debut single, Wannabe, next year.
