We meet again, banked up on the esoterically ominous.
From the media we read of what is reported to be a major "terrorist" incident in Scotland: dozens of police including "anti-terrorism officers" and "bomb disposal units" have self-herded onto ultra-rural Garadhban Forest (colloquially Ross Priory Wood) , near Gartocharn, to the south east of Loch Lomond. Apparently there was an explosion, around about mid-day.
I had a wee sniff round Ross Priory via wiki (linked), which stated that an 11 century affiliation with the Buchanan (see Black and White whisky) clan preceded architectural evidence of settlement since 1693. Later, it was seemingly owned by Teacher's Whisky. The reader can have a nose for themself although, perhaps most relevantly, Rob Roy was written in the Priory by Sir Walter Scott.
In the interim, from the BBC: Anti-terror police probe explosion near Loch Lomond, the local hotel manager's name, rather than his anonymous establishment employer, is somewhat illuminating:

"I got a phone call last night from CID asking if I could meet them here as a matter of urgency and that they wanted to access our CCTV system.
He added: "I was here for four hours with two CID officers and the CCTV officers that work with Strathclyde Police."

His title ?
