A popular hotel in Argyll had to close for deep cleaning at the weekend after an outbreak of norovirus.
The bug struck the Claymore Hotel in Arrochar, by Loch Long, on Thursday and 14 elderly guests were affected.
A spokesman for the tour operator said the sick guests, who were on a bus tour, were provided with individual transport home.
Guests due to arrive at the weekend were rerouted to other hotels on their tour.
The hotel said it hoped to reopen today.
Arrochar, situated near the famous Rest and Be Thankful hill pass, is a popular stop on bus tours.
Graham Rogers, spokesman for tour operator National Holidays, said no one had been hospitalised during the outbreak.
He said: “This was a mild outbreak of the virus, where a small number of people due to return home on Friday began to feel unwell.
“Arrangements were made for them to stay on until Saturday, before travelling home.
“As a precaution the hotel has been closed for the weekend for a deep clean.”
A spokeswoman for Argyll and Bute Council said: “Our environmental health services have worked with hotels to put procedures in place that mean they can take immediate action.
“Carrying out a deep clean is exactly the kind of action recommended and we’ll be in further conversation with the hotel.”
