A house on the banks of Loch Ness once owned by the 'wickedest man in the world' has just revealed images of its new roof after a crowdfunder was launched to restore it.
Boleskine House, which was once owned by the infamous occultist, philosopher, and sex magick practitioner Aleister Crowley, was left little more than a shell after a major fire ripped through the B-listed Georgian building and destroyed the roof in 2015.
Now, the charity behind its restoration, The Boleskine House Foundation, is opening it to the public after its 'Raise the Roof' campaign was successful.
Revealing images of the new aquamarine roof on their official Facebook page, the team behind the project wrote: "Boleskine is looking absolutely fantastic and we are OPEN for Visitors!"
Crowley, dubbed the 'Wickedest Man in the World', reportedly performed 'dark magic' rituals at the Highland property - including spending six months trying to raise his Guardian Angel - when he lived there at the turn of the 20th century.
The house, which is known by Gaelic name Baile Os Ceann, eventually passed into the hands of Led Zeppelin guitarist, Jimmy Page in the early 1970s, who was fascinated by the famed occultist.
The rock star is said to have stayed there only a handful of times due to the 'bad vibes' he felt around the place and gave it over to childhood friend Malcolm Dent to look after.
It's passed hands to several other people since but is now being restored by The Boleskine House Foundation, which is run by founder Keith Readdy.
The charity recently stated that being able to build the roof would be a "huge milestone" for them and would save the Category B listed building from "further deterioration.”
Mr Readdy has also made promises that any activities carried out at the property would be entirely secular in a bid to allay fears over Satanist tourism.
Now open to the public, those looking to visit for a tour of the property can do so here.
