The hotel was originally built about 1845, (although there has been a house on the site for many years), and was home to Lady Grisell Baillie. When the adjacent abbey was still in use, one of the monks in residence had an affair with the young lady of the house. The Abbot, on hearing of the infidelity of his monk ordered that he be killed. The young lady, on hearing of the monk's death, was so distraught that she threw herself into the river and drowned. She became known as the 'Grey Lady'. She has been seen walking across the
chain bridge and in some outbuildings of the hotel. The 'Grey Lady' makes her presence felt most when any changes occur at the hotel and there were many reports of 'strange happenings' during the time when the hotel was closed and the builders moved in. Click on the graphic for a closer view.
