Research Notes

According to John A. R. Macdonald's 'The History of Blairgowrie', David was the "leesee of the principal hotel in the town, then Brown's Hotel; propretor of a coach, "Braes of Mar," which ran beween Perth and Braemar; who also ran stage-coaches to Coupar Angus and Dundee; carried on distilleries at Blairgowrie, Ballied, and Pitcarmic; and farmed Marlee, Thorngreen, Grange of Airlie, Auchteralyth, besides having sheep grazings in Inverness &c."

The hotel he owned in High St., Blairgowrie, was most likely the Queen's Hotel, later run by his son-in-law, Duncan McDonald.
