Frist built in 1432, this hotel is probably the oldest coachin inn in Scotland, still in its original position. Jacobite leaders and Royalty, in particular Queen Victoria have used the Huntly Arms over the Years. The Property used to belong to the Marquess of Huntly, but he lost the property through gambling debts and this folly is commemorated in the restored gazeboo in the garden with the four flower beds representing the four suits of Cards. A wonderful stained glass window commemorating Donal Dinnie a world famous athlete dominates the residents cocktail lounge. The hotel was privately owned until take over by Swallow Hotels in March 2006.
