What is recorded here

Pitlochry, Perth Road, Atholl Palace Hotel, the Lodge stands as a pair of gate piers and a lodge, marking the entrance to a grand hotel in Perth and Kinross. The stones may have watched carriages and boots pass for decades, guiding visitors from the busy road into a world of warmth and privilege. They still frame that boundary, separating the ordinary street from the palace-like interior behind them.

It is remembered for its historical association with the powerful and historically significant Atholl family in Scottish history.
