In the Heart Of The Cairngorm National Park

With origins in the eighteenth century the hotel was originally built as a stopover for passengers travelling by stage coach along the old A9 to Inverness and the North of Scotland. The facilities and atmosphere experienced in the hotel together with the hospitality and welcome extended by the staff make the Duke Of Gordon the ideal place to stay when visiting the Highlands.
