A Loch Lomond 'pleasure boat' is hoping to supply their guests with champagne on cruises from as early as 9am.

Councillors are set to review an application submitted by Cameron House Resort Ltd which aims to serve alcohol on the Celtic Warrior boat until 1am.

The exclusive private cruises are being marketed for guests staying at the hotel with a maximum of 10 people allowed on the boat.

Each trip lasts for an hour and includes a tour around the Loch including islands such as Inchmurrin.

Included is a glass of champagne which is served on the top deck.

In order to provide this, the company need to be successful in their license application, however, there are reservations over the timing of the consumption.

According to the licensing board's policy, the sale of alcohol shall ordinarily be no earlier than 11am and no later than midnight from Sunday to Thursday, and 1am on Friday and Saturday.

Despite this, exemptions can be made if the importance of tourism in certain locations can be recognised.

In a report from the council's Licensing Standards Officer, if permission was granted there would be conditions on the inclusion of children on the cruise.

This includes supervision of young persons the accessibility of toilet facilities and extra safety measures in place.
