 Wonderfully situated east
of the settlement of Kinloch Rannoch and between beautiful Loch Tummel and
much wilder Loch Rannoch, Dunalastair is set amidst one of the most scenic
areas of Scotland.
Dunalastair was the name of the original estate, formerly the seat
of the Struan Robertsons, Chiefs of Clan Donnachaidh, or Duncan, descended
from the Celtic Mormaers of Atholl. Much excitement has occurred here. Of
all the clans, The Robertsons of Struan were amongst the most loyal to the
Stewarts.
The area is known and loved by naturalists, and there are opportunities
for hill climbing, walking, fishing , biking, white water rafting and
sailing, or just strolling down by the shores of the loch and taking in
the peaceful atmosphere and beautiful scenery..
Dunalastair is wonderfully located for visits to Aberfeldy, Pitlochry,
Killiecrankie, Glen Lyon, Blair Castle, the Falls of Bruar, The Queen's
View and so much more - even the evening theatre productions in Pitlochry.
It also makes a wonderful relaxing base from which to visit Dunkeld,
Perth, St Andrews or even Balmoral and Royal Deeside.
The Dunalastair
Hotel has a long tradition of real 'Highland hospitality', having been
built as an inn soon after the Battle of Culloden by the returning
soldiers. It remained as such for well over 100 years until its
development into a hotel at the end of the nineteenth century under the
guiding eye of Major General Alastair Macdonald, Commander of the forces.
