All this from the most friendly and efficient staff

The Priory is an ideal location for enjoying the unspoilt beauty of the North and West Highland of Scotland.

In the 13th Century Cistercian monks built a Priory here, deciding that Beauly was the ideal spot for their secluded meditation and worship. They found fulfillment through strict rules on diet, silence and hard work.

It is said that when Mary Queen of Scots came to our village she exclaimed, 'Oui. C'est un beau lieu.' Well 400 years later the eponymous description still fits. In fact, Beauly recently won the title, 'Best Large Village' in the Britain in Bloom competition. An beyond the cornucopia of flowers bedecking the market square, Beauly is in the midst of some of Scotland's finest mountains and glens. Glen Affric, Glen Cannich and Strathfarrer are on Beauly's doorstep.

The Royal Hotel was originally built by the Middletons of Davidston as a house, with a pork-curing business alongside. The building was later modified and extended to become the Admiral Napier Hotel in 1851 and later the Royal Hotel

In 1913 the Cromarty Firth became a naval base and the hotel was ‘nationalised’ as part of the Cromarty Firth State Management District, which controlled all sales of alcohol around the Firth. It remained state controlled until 1972.

The hotel was extensively modernised in the spring of 1930 (see Eric Malcolm’s ‘The Cromarty We Knew’ for details). At the outbreak of war in 1939 part of the hotel was commandeered by the Navy, who manned the examination vessels inspecting neutral shipping in the Moray Firth.
