Old Photograph Tor Na Coille Hotel Banchory Scotland

Old photograph of Tor Na Coille Hotel in Banchory, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. The name Banchory is thought to be derived from an early Christian settlement founded by St Ternan. It is claimed that Ternan was a follower of St Ninian. Tradition has it that he established his settlement on the banks of the River Dee on what was later to become the kirkyard of the medieval parish of Banchory-Ternan.
