Glenfinnan Hotel in Scottish Highlands reopens after renovation

Glenfinnan House Hotel was built as an inn between 1752 and 1755 by Alexander MacDonald VII of Glenaladale who was wounded at Culloden fighting Prince Charles Edward Stuart.

The house was in an advanced state of disrepair when it was bought in 1971 by the Macfarlane family who worked steadily to restore the building and transform it into a four-star hotel.

Maintenance of the building on the shores of Loch Shiel is a concern although it has now undergone a two-year renovation under new management by hotel management consultancy company ICMI.

The refurbishment includes a ramp of the hotel’s 14 bedrooms along with a new bar and restaurant concept and outdoor seating.

Owner Jane MacFarlane secured up to £175,900 investment from Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE) towards the works.
