There will be no fatal accident inquiry (FAI) into the deadly Cameron House fire more than three years, it has been announced.

Scotland's Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service (COPFS) said there had been a thorough investigation into the December 2017 blaze that killed Richard Dyson and Simon Midgley.

The Crown said it was "not in the public interest" to re-examine what happened.

Earlier this year, Cameron House Resort (Loch Lomond) Limited was fined £500,000 for safety breaches and a night porter was ordered to do unpaid work in the community. Both had pleaded guilty to the lapses.

The Crown said they had provided regular updates to Richard's and Simon's families, though there has been frustration expressed at the length of time the investigation took and a lack of information.

Alistair Duncan, head of the health and safety investigation unit of COPFS, said: “COPFS appreciates the impact the fire has had on the families and friends of Mr Dyson and Mr Midgley and many other people who were at the hotel that night.

“The nearest relatives of those who lost their lives have been provided with detailed reasons for the decision not to hold an FAI and our thoughts are with them at this time.”

The Crown said an FAI would be to determine the cause of death and lessons that could be learned. But counsel were "satisfied" that the reasons had been established and laid out in public during the prosecutions.

In a statement, they said that the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service would engage with the hotel sector to highlight what happened to prevent further tragedies.

Amongst the failings, ash from an open fireplaces was put in a plastic bag next to kindling. When the hotel was evacuated, staff did not take the guest register, leaving fire fighters unaware of who was missing for more than an hour.
