Kenmore Hotel, Kenmore

Historia

Built in 1572. On that day Sir Colin Campbell of Breadalbane granted a lease to his servant How Hay and his wife Christian Stanes "an honest hostelrie" which should at all times have sufficient ale, bread and other provisions.

In the 17th Century, Cromwell's army marched past the front door of the Kenmore Hotel in pursuit of the Earl of Montrose. As the smell of musket shot drifted through the village square, the roundhead officers tucked into Archie's Wee Bar Feastie Menu. Praise was forthcoming and so the Kenmore hotel was spared the terrible torching and destruction that took place from Kenmore to Glen Lyon and beyond.

Rabbie Burns in 1787 was so struck by the area, that he composed a poem sitting on the bridge over the Tay and wrote it in pencil on the chimney breast of the fireplace in our Poets Bar where it is to this day.

In 1842 Queen Victoria and Prince Albert celebrated their honeymoon at Taymouth Castle. During their memorable stay, they too were reputed to have sampled Archie's Wee Bar Feastie Menu and found it much to their liking.
