Doors in scalding death hotel in Pitlochry ‘could have been replaced’

Mr Stanton said: “Customers would come down and say they were struggling with it. We’d go up and show them, if we had time.

“My feelings were that the vast majority of the time they just didn’t know how to work them but I do accept that by the law of averages some of them did have genuine problems.”

Mr Stanton said all the older-style taps were replaced last year.

He said: “Over 20 years as manager we’d recorded maybe two or three scalds, minor ones, so I didn’t think we had a problem with that.”

Procurator fiscal depute Gail Adair asked: “So the possibility of somebody receiving a fatal injury from scalding was not something that was in your mind?”

Mr Stanton replied: “I can look the family in the eye because I couldn’t imagine that, in any scenario.”

The company that owned the hotel has since gone into liquidation and it is now under new ownership.

The inquiry continues on Monday.
