COMING DOWN... |
1899- 2002
Work has begun on the redevelopment of the Gordon Arms Hotel in the centre of Peterculter. The hotel which had been a focus of village social life for just over a hundred years is being demolished and rebuilt, using the same facade, as apartments. Some trees and the rhododendron bushes which fronted the hotel have fallen victim to the bulldozers. The stonework has been numbered and dismantled to be re-used in the new frontage. The site is now being prepared for building work to begin. |

The contrasting faces of the Gordon Arms Hotel- opened in 1899 and closed in 2002. While we wait to see the area converted to flats- we can only remember through photographs of the GA, the long association with Culter.
