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:
“The talk shows are stuffed full of sufferers who have regained their health—congressmen who suffered through a serious spell of boozing and skirt-chasing, White House aides who were stricken cruelly with overweening ambition, movie stars and baseball players who came down with acute cases of wanting to trash hotel rooms while under the influence of recreational drugs. Most of them have found God, or at least a publisher.”
—Calvin Trillin (b. 1935)
