Grant Arms Hotel Largest hotel in Grantown on Spey, a town established in 1765 by Sir James Grant. The present hotel dates mainly from 1875, but in an earlier form it played host to Queen Victoria and Prince Albert in September 1860. This must have been during the period when the Queen spent much time in the Highlands, thus making it a fashionable place to explore for those from further south.
