The Westlands Hotel

Owned and run by the same family for over 30 years, the Westlands Hotel rests in its own grounds of 1.75 acres to the west of Dunblane in rural Perthshire. It was built for the Christie towel family in 1902, the year after Edward VII succeeded Victoria to the throne, and forms a splendid example of Edwardian architecture.
