The
Spittal of Glenshee is the site of one of the oldest inns in the
U.K. It is known that the site has been in continuous use since
961AD and has had a chequered history throughout the years. It
is certainly at the highest altitude being just over 2,100 feet
above sea level.
The name 'Spittal' has originated from the Latin word 'hospitium' meaning 'Apartment
for Strangers', or from the Gaelic 'spiddeal' which means 'where the glens meet'.
Four glens meet at the 'Spittal'; Glenshee, Glenbeag, Glen Lochsie, Glen Taitneach.
