From across Loch Achray the former Trossachs Hotel is a Historic Scotland Category B Listed building erected in 1849 by Lord Willoughby D'Eresby and G.P. Kennedy and extended in 1853 by addition of the east wing and the west wing that was added in 1891. The hotel fell into disrepair and was converted to holiday apartments in 1992 re-opening in 1993. The building stands on the site of a former inn known as Ardcheanochrochan. The popular hotel once used by Queen Victoria was described by some as a Highland Camelot but was not to Jules Verne's taste who wrote in 1859 'A mile and a half along the road is the Trossachs Hotel, a gloomy looking new mansion'. The Trossachs Hotel was the location for St. Catherines School for Girls where Richard Hannay gives his impromptu lecture on the joys of the Spleanwort in Ralph Thomas's 1959 film The Thirty Nine Steps based on John Buchan's book of the same name.
