    A wee bit of background information about Lord Strathcona, that you may be interested in. Only yesterday I happened to be in Glen Coe and drove past Lord Strathcona's Scottish Country seat, Glen Coe House. It is an imposing building and certainly in keeping with the surrounding scenery, but not one that I would describe as an architectural gem. It is now a hotel and was until recently a hospital before that, I understand that the building was given to the people of Glen Coe upon his death in 1914.
