Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: The Father of Scottish Tourism? I have to confess to some surprise on seeing this commemorative stone in the Famous Fochaberians garden. The epithet is more commonly applied to Sir Walter Scott, whose romantic novels launched the Scottish tourist industry before James Edgar's birth. Edgar was the at various times the tenant of Edgar's Hotel in Forres, the tenant of the City Arms Hotel in Elgin, the manager of the Forres Hydropathic Hotel, the Commercial Hotel in Fochabers and the Gordon Arms Hotel in Elgin, and finally proprietor of the Craigellachie Hotel, so he certainly made his mark on the industry in Moray. However in spite of having spent my career in tourism, half of it in Moray, the only reason I had ever previously heard of James Edgar was because his daughter married a distant cousin of mine! |
