The Banchory Hotel
Lying on the banks of the Dee River, in the area often referred to as Royal Deeside, is the Banchory Lodge Hotel. Originally constructed by General William Burnett in the early 19th century from the old tavern known as the Coble Heugh Inn, it was a small mansion known as the Banchory Lodge. Before his death in 1839 it was transformed into a stately Georgian Style house. In 1936 it was converted and opened as a hotel retaining the name of Banchory Lodge. In 1966 Margaret "Maggie" Jaffray and her husband, Dugald, acquired the 22 room hotel. To this day it retains ownership of a mile stretch of the River Dee for salmon and trout fishing.
