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:
“...what a thing it is to lie there all day in the fine breeze, with the pine needles dropping on one, only to return to the hotel at night so hungry that the dinner, however homely, is a fete, and the menu finer reading than the best poetry in the world! Yet we are to leave all this for the glare and blaze of Nice and Monte Carlo; which is proof enough that one cannot become really acclimated to happiness.”
—Willa Cather (1876–1947)
