The Pentland Hotel
The Pentland Hotel is a lovely old hotel right in the middle of downtown Thurso. By 'downtown,' I mean it's right in the middle of town, at the town square. My first introduction to the hotel was during my first week here. Cathy said, "The ladies get together on Wednesday mornings at 11 am for coffee. They meet in the lobby of the Pentland Hotel. Would you like to go?" Potential new friends AND Coffee? Of course I did! I walked with her there in the rain. And there I met several other ladies. Coffee at the Pentland seems to be a little like meeting at Starbucks in that groups of women meet there to fellowship over coffee. Or tea. Except it is so NOT Starbucks. It is old and has carpet and upholstered chairs and has a sort of 'presence' that only old buildings have. And it has a bar. And occasionally I see men there having a beer at 10:30 am. There seem to be several different groups - women, mostly - who meet there....
