Atholl Palace, Pitlochry
Originally built in the 19th century by one of the pioneers of the tourist industry, Sir Henry Lunn (founder of Lunn Poly). It was designed as a baronial castle on its private estate and was a spectacular tourist centre at the end of early railway line from London to the Scottish Highlands. We bought the 100 year old building from the owning family and restored it to its former glory. We then added sports facilities, new restaurants /function/conference suites and marketed to the international incoming tourist companies. Sportsmen and women loved it for its golf, fishing and tennis, and we also welcomed many visitors to the annual Pitlochry Theatre Festival. We had recreated a superb and successful hotel for the late 20th century which was then acquired by a major hotel group.
