Publisher's Synopsis
Spittal of Glenshee in the Scottish Highlands has long been a sanctuary for weary wanderers. The first hostelry was established here in AD 941 by monks and, during the Victorian era, a hotel opened, a popular staging post for coaches and later motorists. Destroyed by fire, it was replaced in the 1960s by a modern, Scandinavia style structure that served both travellers and a growing ski industry until it too burned down in 2014. This photographic essay charts the rise and fall of the Spittal of Glenshee Hotel, a series of stark, atmospheric and, at times, haunting black and white images capturing the last days of a once popular inn.
