Συνεδριακοί Χώροι:
The pressure of modern life is pervasive; it can deflate enthusiasm. At such
times, the space to reflect becomes precious and here Inverlochy is able to
breathe new life back into tired minds and bodies.
The relaxed atmosphere is often inspiration enough for the guests and, with the
latest communications technology in the rooms, you can be sure that your ideas
don't get lost in the rarefied Highlands air.
There is a tradition in this part of the world of the Meeting Place, where
people get together to exchange views, share experience and, perhaps, a dram or
two. Something of this informal approach to business is discernible in
Inverlochy.
Where the sound of pens scratching, computers tapping and minds whirring is
likely to be accompanied by the clacking of billiard balls, the cast of a
fishing rod and the crackling of ice in glass.
Ιστορία :
Nestling in the foothills of the mighty Ben Nevis, Inverlochy Castle sits
amidst some of Scotland's finest scenery.
Inverlochy was built in 1863 by the first Lord Abinger, near the site of the
original 13th century fortress.
In September 1873 during a trip to Balmoral, Queen Victoria spent a week at
Inverlochy sketching and painting where she wrote in her diaries 'I never saw a
lovelier or more romantic spot'.
Inverlochy had been a private residence for over a hundred years until 1969
when it was converted from a family home to Scotland's finest country house
hotel.
