Welcome to the the Glenmoriston Arms Hotel or as we like it to be known “Our Highland Home”, which it could also be for you should you decide to stay with us during your time in the Scottish Highlands.
The original hotel built on this site dates back from 1740, 6 years before the battle of Culloden when the building was originally a drover’s inn, a stop over point for farmers taking their cattle to and from market.
Parts of the original hotel remain today which form the Moriston bar and also the reception area with granite walls 3-4 feet thick making hanging wallpaper a nightmare and terrible if we try and hang a picture!!
It has carved itself in the history of Loch Ness as being the meeting place for Johnstone & Boswell when they charted their journey to the Hebrides and also a favourite haunt for Charlie Chaplin in the 1930’s when actors and actresses of the time wanted a little peace and relaxation in the Highlands. Gavin Maxwell the author of the book “Ring of bright water” also stayed here whilst he finished the book, and then returned a few years later accompanied by Princess Margaret who was presenting him with an award. so, you will certainly be amongst good company staying here!
