Allan Ramsay Festival
14th-16th October 2016
Allan Ramsay Festival celebrated the lives of two remarkable men - that of Allan Ramsay poet (1684-1758) and his son, also Allan, the distinguished portrait painter (1713-1784).
The hotel (est.1792) was named in honour of Allan Ramsay senior and it was fitting that the Festival coincided with his birthday on 15th October. Read more here:
