Strathallan Hotel
The public house to the rear of the station, now called the "Terminus Tavern" was constructed in 1890 as the Strathallan Lodge, later becoming a hostelry and remained so until 1982 when it was given its current name. It was railway owned until nationalisation in 1957, having been taken over by the local brewery at that time. it still forms an integral part of the station, the walls being lined with numerous photographs of the line and other handbills, posters, etc., and it plays host to off-duty railway workers still today.

Famous quotes containing the word hotel:
“In soliciting donations from his flock, a preacher may promise eternal life in a celestial city whose streets are paved with gold, and that’s none of the law’s business. But if he promises an annual free stay in a luxury hotel on Earth, he’d better have the rooms available.”
—Unknown. Charlotte Observer (October 6, 1989)
