What is recorded here

Dougal Menzies built Glenborrodale Castle for C Rudd in 1898, shaping a private country house inside the Highland landscape. It later became a hotel, inviting strangers into rooms that once belonged to one family. The change from private walls to public beds suggests the house kept giving itself to people long after its first owner left.
