To the right are some examples of the graphic work carried out for the Weem Hotel,
with a very natural illustrative feel to highlight the setting and vibe of this
old coaching inn in Weem (using photoshop and illustrator).
The Weem Hotel is an historic Coaching Inn situated at the foot
of Weem Rock, near Aberfeldy, and was famous as barracks for General
Wade’s
troops while building the nearby bridge to cross the River Tay
in the 18th century.
Weem village, just north of Aberfeldy, existed as long ago as 1235,
pre-dating Aberfeldy by about 500 years. The ancient village was previously
known as Bail-a-Chlalchain nan Uamh Kirktoun or Churchtown of Weem.
The village was a centre of religious and economic importance. The
Weem Hotel, a historic Inn, is said to date back to 1527. This was
more than likely the base for General Wade during the 1733 construction
of the bridge at Aberfeldy. The old church dates from around 1510 and
was a place of worship until 1839 when it became the mausoleum of the
Menzies family.
