UK: Investment firm Victory Group has purchased the luxury resort Cameron House, located near Glasgow, from KSL Capital Partners.
Cameron House is a historic 17th-century estate offering rooms, suites, apartments, cottages, and lodges on the banks of Loch Lomond. Amenities at the resort include two golf courses, three pools, a sauna, fitness facilities, and eight food and beverage venues.

Erik Moresco, founder of Victory Group, said: “This acquisition reflects our strong conviction in high-quality assets in attractive locations. Cameron House combines a setting of breathtaking beauty, heritage and luxury, with legendary Scottish hospitality. We are excited to be making our first acquisition in Scotland, and we continue to see the UK as a compelling investment market.”
Victory was advised by Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner, Alvarez & Marsal, Shepherd and Wedderburn, Turner & Townsend Building Consultancy, JLL Debt & Structured Finance, and Howden Global Financial Sponsors.
