In 1775 when Bonnie Prince Charlie was wandering the countries of Europe in exile, the Inn that was to become The Royal Hotel was built in the Highland Village of Comrie, on the site of an earlier tavern, in the area known as Strathearn. The area was no stranger to the Prince, and Comrie, originally Gaelic speaking, has played host to other larger than life figures including: Robert the Bruce, Rob Roy McGregor, Robert Burns and Queen Victoria - whose stay bestowed the name of The Royal Hotel on Comrie major coaching inn. Comries central position, makes it an ideal touring base for exploring the local region.Lying in the very heart of Scotland, Perthshire has for centuries been the crossroads of the nation and thus benefits from excellent road and rail networks. Comrie is just over an hours drive from our principle cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow and their airports. Over 150 years later, The Royal is still fit for a Queen having in the years between the two world wars been frequently visited by Queen Wilhemina of the Netherlands whose signed portrait hangs in the principal suite in the Hotel. With its homely but luxurious atmosphere and open log fires, you will quickly succumb to the elegant charm, evocative period furnishings and genuine Highland hospitality which will make your stay at The Royal a memorable one.
