Ewan McGregor’s bid to fix roof on £2 million Scottish mansion refused
Ewan McGregor blocked from replacing roof on Scottish mansion
- Ewan McGregor's application to replace the roof of his £2 million Scottish mansion has been refused by Perth and Kinross Council.
- Architects stated the existing lead roof was "beyond repair" due to fatigue cracking and splits, and was also at risk of theft.
- The actor's representatives proposed replacing the lead with a single-ply membrane Sarnafil roof, as patch repairs were no longer viable.
- The council denied the application, asserting that the proposed non-traditional methods and materials would not preserve the grade C-listed building's character and special architectural interest.
- McGregor bought the 1789-built, ten-bedroom villa in 2023 and had previously received permission for other renovations, including a new garage and master bedroom.
