Thomas and Carter was in Edinburgh today visiting a new property soon to join our portfolio and stopped by to visit Greyfriars Bobby.

"A Skye Terrier who guarded his master’s grave for 14 years, Bobby was a familiar figure around Greyfriars Kirkyard, where he was fed and given shelter by local residents.
A Sergeant from the Royal Engineers trained Bobby to associate the one o'clock gun with dinner time and his appearances at Traill's Restaurant rooms at 6 Greyfriars Place became a daily spectacle!

"Findlater Castle by has uncertain origins but a fortification existed on the site by 1246 when it was referenced in the Exchequer Rolls. The castle occupied a naturally strong position upon a tall rock, towering some 15 metres above sea level. The name derives from the Gaelic term fionn leitir - literally "white cliff”.
▫️
By the 13th century the castle was a baronial site - possibly owned by the powerful Sinclair family - but was inspected and ordered to be readied against attack by Alexander III in the early 1260s as he prepared for conflict with the Norwegians. Despite these preparations, and the decisive Scottish victory at the Battle of Largs (1263), the castle was occupied by the forces of King Haakon IV of Norway.
The ruins seen today date from the 15th century. The last known owner from the Sinclair line was Sir John Sinclair who died at the Battle of Harlow. At some point thereafter it passed into the hands of Sir Walter Ogilvy for he was granted a licence to fortify Findlater in 1455. He served in the King's Council before later becoming Sheriff of Banffshire.
▫️
In 1560 Alexander Ogilvy disinherited his son, James Ogilvy, in favour of Sir John Gordon. His clan rebelled against Mary, Queen of Scots in 1562 and Findlater Castle was besieged and taken by Royal forces. The defeat of the Gordons at the Battle of Corrichie, on 28 October 1562, saw Sir John executed and the castle returned to James Ogilvy. James was created Earl of Findlater in 1638 but this rise in status prompted him to build nearby Cullen House as a direct replacement and Findlater was allowed to drift into ruin.

The Ultimate Christmas Break'

That's why, this December, the hotel is offering an extra-special two-night Christmas break featuring a Christmas Eve cocktailparty (including an Orkney-themed supper - yum!), a Christmas Day champagne breakfast and a 5-course Christmas Day lunch. Bedecked in their iconic Christmas decorations and with the smell of mulled wine in the air, the hotel's home-from-home feel allows guests to truly relax without the worry of turkey cooking times or mounting washing up. Plus, for those eager not quite ready to return home, the hotel's Boxing Day supper is worth extending your stay for.
To book: the Dunstane's 'Ultimate Christmas Break' starts from £395 per person for a two-night stay on a double-occupancy basis per the inclusions listed above. Contact the hotel direct at www.thedunstane.com
