SCOTTISH actor Ewan McGregor has put forward plans to renovate a lodge on the grounds of a mansion in Perthshire.
The Emmy-award winning actor, who was recently given a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, has submitted an application to do up the building at his Carse of Gowrie property.
He has applied to refurbish the existing windows of the B-listed gate lodge as well as to install new double glazing units.
McGregor (above), 53, has also applied to remove the existing PVC windows and replace them with new timber sash to match what’s in place already.
Perth and Kinross Council will make a final decision on the plans in the coming months.
The latest news comes after McGregor previously submitted an application to renovate areas of his mansion.
Speaking to Architectural Digest earlier this year, McGregor said he was keen to come back to Scotland.
“I never saw it coming, it’s weird,” he said.

“I spoke to Craig Ferguson about it, he’s moved back to Scotland, and when I called him up he told me – ‘oh year, you’re just at that age’.
“You just reach an age when it’s time to go home.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
