 Buchanan
Arms Hotel
in Drymen The origins go back to the Buchanan of Drumakill, Lairds who owned extensive lands mainly at Drymen, Ross Priory and Gartocharn. Built in 1763 it was an Inn and Farmhouse with the adjoining Farm of Ballanton. About 1860 it was purchased by James 4th Duke of Montrose and leased to a Mr Robe Buchanan followed shortly after by Mr James Buchanan. In 1935 the hotel was sold by Mr David Burnett to a Mr Grant. The Hotel and Buchanan Arms Farm were next owned by Mr Charles Guy - his brothers, Albert and Arthur, thereafter took over control at Buchanan Arms Hotel. The Guys sold to Scottish Highland Hotels and, since 2013, the hotel has been under the ownership of Nordfield Properties Ltd. |
