More about this scene
Close to the Musgrave Monument is the George Hotel whose substantial premises still occupy most of the buildings on the left hand side of this view. One of the town's oldest inns, it was once known as the George and Dragon. Here Bonnie Prince Charlie rested overnight on his march south during the Jacobite uprising of 1745. Next to the George is the showroom of Thomas Altham and Son, Ironmongers, who occupied these premises until 1914.
