Curling Hall gatehouse and entrance to Marine and Curlinghall Hotel. The local hotel, which was sadly demolished in 1984, was a mecca for visitors and holiday-goers throughout the 1950s, 60s and 70s with the ever popular dinner dances which could cater for 600. Back in 1933, Mrs Catherine Logan, who had made her mark in retail drapery in Glasgow, acquired Barra House, a substantial villa on the Broomfields which she quickly transformed into the Barra House Hotel. The adjacent Curlinghall Hotel was acquired in 1947 by the Logan family and was run by Catherine's son, Fulton, and his aunt Bessie. In 1953, Mrs Logan and her son had the opportunity of carrying through an £80,000 project to join the two hotels together and continued to grow as a first class hotel and conference facility.
