In 1889 Sir Henry Campbell Bannermann gifted the school an observatory. To this day the observatory and its 130 year old telescope, is still in working condition on the hotel rooftop and hosts tours by The Royal Astrological Society available to hotel guests as well as local guides, scouts and cubs.
Please get in touch to arrange a tour of The Obervatory, or to request more information.
