About us:
Commissioned in 1824 and completed in 1836 by the renowned architect William Playfair, the
building highlights some of the finest features of the Georgian era, with its unique heavy front
Portico facade flanked by Doric columns. The building previously served as The Black Watch club,
for veterans of one of the oldest kilted highland regiments, dating back to 1725. Many original
features have been maintained within the hotel. Ornate cornice work, high ceilings with central
roses and our illuminating cupola over the staircase with its original balustrade.
History of the Clan Campbell
Campbell, one of the most eminent and influential highland clans in the history of Scotland, draws
its origins in the mists of antiquity, being prominent even in the earliest Scottish kingdom, Dalriada.
The Clan is also known as Clan Diarmid, after the Ossianic hero from whom the Clan is
descended. According to tradition, Diarmid died from an injury received after slaying a fierce wild
boar. The Campbell Clan crest is a boar's head, the motto is Ne Oblivicaris - "Forget Not" and the
warcry or rallying cry in battle is "Cruachan", from a prominent mountain and landmark on their
lands beside Loch Awe. The name Campbell arose in the thirteenth century when Duncan
MacDuibhne the Clan Chief at the original stronghold in Lochawe, Argyll, held the Gaelic nickname
of Cam Beul, meaning "crooked mouth", and his descendants maintained this from then on as
their Clan name.
