The house was built as an inn between 1752 and 1755 by Alexander MacDonald VII of Glenaladale who was wounded at Culloden (1746) fighting for Prince Charles Edward Stuart (Bonnie Prince Charlie). The present owners, came to Glenfinnan in 1971 by which time the house was in an advanced state of disrepair. They converted the house into a hotel whilst attempting to retain as much of its old character as possible. This Scottish country house is a fine stone mansion with attractive public rooms and 14 bedrooms. Along pine-panelled walls hang an atmospheric collection of paintings including an impressive portrayal of the 1745 Jacobite Rising at Glenfinnan.
