History of the Inn
The Old Cross is in a Victorian building which has been an inn
since 1865. Originally called the Rattray Hotel, it was owned by William
Matthews, a grocer from Broughty Ferry, with James Grant, vintner, as the
tenant. In 1870, the hotel changed hands, and was owned by the Hill
Whitson family of Parkhill House
In 1905, the George family took over and the inn was
renamed The George. The family had previously run the Rattray Inn, which
is now a private dwelling. In 1945, George Rose became the new owner and
members of the family ran the inn for almost 50 years.
In 1994, after a short period when Roy Morris was the
owner, the inn was bought by Ian Ewan and was renamed the Park
Inn.
Another name changed followed in 2004 when the building
was bought by Elaine Mathers and renamed the Old Cross Inn and Restaurant,
with an extensive program of alterations and refurbishment undertaken
which complimented the style and character of the 140 year old building.
Current proprietors Liam Leask and Claire Hobson took over
in April 2006.
