Bokeskine House, former home of (Aleister Crowley) Jimmy Page, destroyed by fire
A SCOTTISH manor once owned by Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page and occultist Aleister Crowley has been largely destroyed by a fire.
Boleskine House, on the banks of Loch Ness near Foyers in the Highlands, is still ablaze and fire crews have been unable to get inside the building to check for casualties.
About 60 per cent of the building had been destroyed by the time fire crews arrived shortly after 1:40pm on Wednesday.

Jimmy Page and his black magic Highland home
Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page may only have visited there a handful of times, but the rock god is forever linked to what has been dubbed “the most notorious home in the Highlands.”
Page bought Boleskine House on the southern bank of Loch Ness in the early 1970s, driven by his long interest in the work of Victorian occultist and magician of the black arts, Aleister Crowley, who lived there in the early 1900s.
Page went on to claim “bad vibes” ran through the 18th Century property, where he maintained the head of an executed man - believed to be Lord Lovat who fought with the English during the 1745 uprising - could be heard rolling around the floor.
