Old Photograph Taychreggan Hotel Loch Awe Scotland

Old photograph of Taychreggan Hotel by Loch Awe, Argyll, Scotland. Taychreggan began life as a humble 17th century cattle drovers inn, built on a small peninsula that juts out into the loch. It was from here, at Loch Awe’s narrowest crossing point, that Highland cows would swim across. There were cattle thieves from rival clans watching and waiting for an opportune time to steal your cattle. Samuel Johnson and James Boswell stayed here in their historic journey to the Hebrides.
