BOB'S HIGHLAND HOME PART TWO

Comments posted to this blog sometimes get overlooked if they relate to something from several posts earlier, so although this one is now up in the Comments section under the posting about Bob's big Scottish house, I'm highlighting it here too. Here it is:

"We had reservations to stay at Aultmore House the weekend of June 2-3, 2006, at a rate of 115 pounds for the best room, the McKay room. When we arrived, after an all day drive, the proprietress told us we couldn't stay there because she had just sold the property and the American purchaser wanted it inventoried that weekend. Since it was a Saturday night and all the better lodging was all booked up, needless to say we were upset. Now we know who to blame--Bob Dylan. A shame he couldn't have allowed Aultmore House to honor its last few B&B reservations rather than turn guests away at the door."

Interesting - though I think that previous proprietress should take the blame, not Bob (or David Zimmerman). She shouldn't have agreed to have the inventory done when she had a firm guest booking. It's extraordinary how many deeply inhospitable people go in for running pubs and B&Bs.
