Moffat Hydropathic Hotel - opened on 5th April 1878, the hotel was typical of its kind and was a luxury spa establishment. During the First World War it was used as a hospital for wounded servicemen, and then refurbished around 1921. However the heyday of the Hydro hotels was over, and a fire in 1921 destroyed the building. A museum in Moffat now holds almost all surviving information and material. This photo is a rarity as most surviving images are from advertising material rather than personal snapshots.
