Drumossie Hotel
The Drumossie Hotel is an art deco resort and conference centre two kilometers south east of Inverness.
History
The building was designed by Carruthers May[1] and built in the art deco style as a traditional roadhouse in about 1930.[2] It was requisitioned to serve as the headquarters of No. 14 Group RAF in June 1940 during the Second World War.[3][4] The headquarters moved later to a permanent location at Raigmore House in 1941[5] and the building reverted to hotel use and by the 1970s was trading as the "Royal Stuart Motor Hotel".[6] More recently known as the "Drumossie Hotel", it was operated by Shearings in the 1990s[7] but has since been acquired by Macdonald Hotels.[8]

gollark: Can I go around mass-emailing people?
gollark: And that's a great example of it being "arbitrary".
