The Royal Marine Hotel conspires to take guests back to a less frenetic, more gracious era. Facilities include leisure club, boats on Loch Brora, mountain bikes, and adjacent to 18-hole links golf course. The house itself, designed in 1913 by Sir Robert Lorimer, commands a fine position overlooking the mouth of the River Brora, and has settled into a graceful old age - mellowed by time and a rich and colourful history of occupation. n
