Notes: The work which we illustrate from the drawing exhibited at The Royal Academy has just been completed from the plans of Mr T Martin Cappon, architect, Dundee, Before the extension the hotel consisted of a plain two story building with six public rooms and twelve bedrooms. Its accommodation is now as follows: large dining room, two drawing rooms, five parlours, smoking and waiting rooms, billiard room, tap room, bar, restaurant, spacious hall, forty bedrooms, four bathrooms with suitable quarters for servants and stabling for thirty horses. The building occupies a fine site in the centre of a picturesque district bordering on Glen Esk and has been designed to meet the requirements of summer visitors as well as the large number of sportsmen. The walls are treated in a warm buff colour and the roof is covered with red tiles. The building is provided throughout with the electric light. The elevations are designed to suggest the old-fashioned English hostelry while the interior is fitted up with all the comforts and conveniences of a modern hotel. [Builder 6 November 1897 p374]
