Former home of ‘most evil man in Britain’ burns down
The former home of the self confessed “most evil man in Britain” was virtually destroyed by a fire which ripped through the 18th century Loch Ness-side mansion, once owned by black witch Aleister Crowley.
The blaze was spotted around 1.40pm by a motorist on the A82 Inverness to Fort William road which runs along the north side of Britain’s most famous stretch of water.

But despite the UKs’ largest loch being nearby, four fire appliances required a water bowser to tackle the flames which had claimed 60PC of the building after just two hours.
Over 30 personnel, some of them wearing breathing apparatus, used six water jets in their attempt to dowse the inferno.
It is believed the property, once owned by Led Zeppelin lead guitarist Jimmy Page, was unoccupied.
Local legend has it that the house was built on the site of a church which was burned down, killing the entire congregation who were attending Mass.
Police closed the B852 road between Dores and Foyers to as smoke caused visibility problems for motorists as well as the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service.
Originally named Boleskine Lodge, it was built as a hunting lodge in the late 18th century by the Honorable Archibald Fraser who was related to Lieutenant General Simon Fraser, Lord Lovat.
