Hello Listers! I was wondering if anyone on the list might be familiar with the Scotland's Hotel in Pitlochry? I've recently discovered that one of my ancestors, John Scotland, was the hotel's proprietor until his death in 1900. I'd like to find out a bit about the history of the place particularly as it relates to the Scotland family. I found a web site for the hotel and emailed to ask about its history but no one on the staff could help with any historic information. I'm hoping there might be someone on the list might know about the place or might be able to point me in the right direction as far as where to look or to whom to write for more information. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated! Bye for now, Karen ksteel@optonline.net www.geocities.com/ksteel.geo My Genealogy Homepage "A room without books is like a body without a soul."-Cicero

Hi I was looking at the 1901 census for Moulin this morning and notes a ? Scotland as proprietor of Scotland's Hotel. I'll have another look tomorrow and check it out properly. In Colin Liddell's book "Heritage of a Highland District" he says that Scotland's Hotel was formerly the Star Inn established in 1845. John Scotland took it over in 1880. It is the oldest larger hotel in Pitlochry. Hope this is of interest Kay ----- Original Message ----- From: "ksteel" <ksteel@optonline.net> To: <PERTHSHIRE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, August 16, 2004 8:03 PM Subject: Scotland's Hotel, Pitlochry > Hello Listers! > I was wondering if anyone on the list might be familiar with the Scotland's Hotel in Pitlochry?
