The new nursing home takes shape on the land previously occupied by the Clune Brae Hotel

Clune Brae Hotel

Hold your mouse over the image!

Built in approximately 1973 the hotel stood at the top of the Clune Brae.
It was hit by tragedy when a fire ripped through the roof of the building in the late 70's and two lifes were lost.
It was rebuilt and for many years was a familiar site as you reached the top of the Clune Brae.

On the 28th August 2002 developers moved in and started the task of clearing the site for Carriick Homes who plan to build a two story nursing home on the land.The initial plans for this replacement building is for a 62 single bedroom home which should be complete some time in early 2003 . The new building seems large compared to the hotel but with a nicely built stone retaining wall and the tunnel from the home to the Community Centre cleaned up with new lighting installed it's hard to picture what it was like before.
