View from the entrance gateway to Taymouth Castle, once the seat of the Marquis of Breadalbane. Kenmore is a very attractive and well kept village at the east of Loch Tay. The present village was laid out by the 3rd Earl of Breadalbane in 1760. He let the inhabitants live rent free on condition that they followed a trade and kept the place clean and tidy. This generous arrangement cut both ways since it ensured he had a core of tradesmen at his bidding! Burns was favourably impressed when he stayed at the Inn during his highland tour and penned some suitable lines.
