A private house above the Dee The last house to be built along the ‘Darroch Brae’, on Ballater’s Braemar Road, Darroch Learg was finished in 1888. Designed in an Arts and Crafts style, the building has three storeys: the first two are built in solid stone; the third is clad in fish scale tiles and half-timbering. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63ee8f3f4eb40a0b3161a1f2/d1d655fd-8b69-42e8-bd73-2a789bec18b0/img20221228_23430320.jpg Our story - Royal connections Over its 130 year history, Darroch Learg has had various interesting owners. A royal physician once lived here (we are a short drive from Balmoral Castle), as did a shipbuilder and an accountant. The house was also used as a sporting lodge by one owner and—during the Second World War—it became a Royal Navy convalescent home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63ee8f3f4eb40a0b3161a1f2/30612d4f-f198-4477-ba1f-5108d41b344b/Screen+Shot+2023-03-30+at+10.57.28.png Our story - The Franks family In 1961 the hotel was purchased by Douglas and Helen Franks. The Franks had enjoyed holidaying in Ballater with their two children, Janet and Nigel, and now moved the family from their home in the south of England to begin a new life in the Highlands. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63ee8f3f4eb40a0b3161a1f2/c277b518-7194-4501-b96f-9340cd172684/Tezza_2022_10_21_143024391.jpg Our story - Make it stand out Across the Dee valley from Darroch Learg Hotel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63ee8f3f4eb40a0b3161a1f2/39b15f69-8b2d-46f1-b8c3-bf75f49794e1/image3.jpg Our story - A destination hotel Douglas and Helen transformed Darroch Learg into a popular holiday destination, which had a very busy season between April and October every year.
