Tributes have been paid to a West Lothian businesswoman following her sad death.

- ROSS THOMSON

A woman at the forefront of the Scottish hospitality industry for over fifty years, Anne Davidson alongside her late husband Clive, took over Champany Inn, near Linlithgow, in January 1983, building their restaurant around Scottish produce with an unwavering passion for Scotch beef and South African wine. They established an award-winning rural business that today consists of a fine dining steakhouse, 16 bedrooms, The Chop & Ale House bistro and a wine shop.
