Burnet Arms by Royal Appt

Yesterday we had lunch at the Burnett Arms in Banchory. When we left I noted the Royal Coat of arms above the main entrance. So back today for a picture and a bit of History searching on the net.

The Burnett Arms Hotel is right in Banchory town centre, just a few minutes drive away from Aberdeen.

An 18th Century coaching inn-turned hotel that has been family run for over 40 years.

Between 1854 and 1866 Queen Victoria passed through Banchory on her way to Balmoral and stopped for afternoon tea in the town on various occasions. On one occasion it is reputed that, due to travel delays, she stayed overnight in The Burnett Arms Hotel in the Town’s centre.
