History

Country House 1845-1932

The original core of the current building was constructed in 1845. At that time it was a private residence and the home of Lady Griselle Baillie. The house was modernised in 1875 by Lord Jerviswoode, Lady Griselle's brother, and remained in the family until 1929 when it was purchased by the Scottish Motor Traction Company.

Hotel, 1932-present

The Scottish Motor Traction Company added the east wing and launched it as a “Tourist Hotel” in 1932. The hotel changed hands several times over the intervening years.

In 2007, the hotel was taken over by a new company owned and managed by the Wallace family.
