Tour Scotland Autumn Photograph Video Gleneagles Perthshire

Tour Scotland Autumn photograph of the grounds of Gleneagles Hotel, Perthshire, Scotland. The Gleneagles Hotel's Grand Opening Gala was on 7 June 1924 but its history commenced 14 years prior to that momentous day. In 1910 Donald Matheson, General Manager of the Caledonian Railway Company, was on holiday in Strathearn. His railway line ran through the valley and, as it was the era of Grand Hotels he was so impressed by the surrounding countryside in Scotland that he conjured up the vision of a large country house hotel, built in the style of a palace which would provide leisure in the form of golf to the travelling public.
