This memory lane photograph shows six pipers form Campbeltown’s first pipe band and what appear to be two policemen outside the hotel with John Adams Robertson’s name above the door.
CAMPBELTOWN Picture House’s Raiders of the Lost Archive project did not need Harrison Ford to uncover the history of the Steamboat Hotel, just archivist Allanna Brough.
On her CPH archive blog, Allanna has written about a cinema shareholder – John Adams Robertson – who bought 10 shares in 1912 and lived in Royal Avenue Mansions.
