Subject notes
The hotel was built in the Victorian period, to cater primarily for anglers, both sea and fresh water, and for walkers. The railways and steamers made the Highlands accessible to the urbanised middle-class and many hotels were built to cater for them. Sheep and cattle farming were the main forms of agriculture.
