The Torridon has announced two key promotions into leadership roles at the Scottish five star resort.
Ross Aitchison has been promoted to take the helm as general manager, after ten years at the resort heading up the operational team. With a background working within operational roles at Lucknam Park and Bath Priory Hotel, Ross moved back to the Scottish Highlands in 2013 and has been an integral part of the Torridon leadership team ever since.
Following the successful award of the Master Innholder scholarship in 2022, Ross completed the general manager programme at Cornell University in 2023 and takes on the role of General Manager of The Torridon as of April 2024, overseeing the delivery of the high standards of service and guest experience the resort is known for.
