About us at the Green Park Hotel, Pitlochry.

The central core of the Green Park Hotel in Pitlochry is a gracious country house.

This original house was built in 1889 for two sisters, Grace Louise Cowan and Jane Eleanor Cowan. They came from a family of merchants who, having been successful in both Glasgow and Edinburgh, saw good sense in escaping from the cities, moving to the clear air of Perthshire and, if fortune favoured them, becoming country gentry.

The family had a tendency to produce female offspring unable to secure husbands. Reconciling themselves to this condition, the two ladies, in their forties blossomed as social hostesses for the cream of local society at their fine country house hotel, then called Lagreach and at present times, the Green Park Hotel.

The daily routine of the hotel still follows the lifestyle of its first owners, sensitively modified to current requirements and with modern facilities.

Since 1996 the hotel has been owned and operated by the McMenemie family. Two generations of the family are actively involved - John and Mary ( Mum and Dad ), and Alistair and Diane ( son number three, and daughter in law ). They, together with friendly and enthusiastic staff run the hotel on traditional lines. This clearly appeals to many people, as the hotel is fortunate enough to have a considerabe number of visitors, who as regulars, come to the hotel not once but several times each year.

While open to a limited number of non-residents for lunch and dinner, the Green Park hotel is primarily organised around the needs of its resident guests. A buffet of tea, coffee, biscuits and cakes is made available every day to the hotels residents, while a pre-dinner sherry reception has become a feature of the hotel's day.
