Hi there.  My name is Paul and I have lived in Aviemore for nearly 6 years
now. Sadly I didn't get to see  Aviemore in it's heyday but couldn't imagine
living anywhere else. I'm from Edinburgh originally and go home now and
again but as soon as the train leaves Aviemore my heart sinks as I call this
place home now. I moved here to take on the position of Assistant manager at
the Highlands Hotel (post house) And Then was employed right through the
refurbishment and then in the newly opened conference centre up until last
Christmas when the new owners Macdonald Hotels & Resorts made me redundant
(a blessing in disguise as I would probably still be there hating every
minute of it but doing nothing about it. You just need to read the "Strathy"
every week to know that this corporation have done absolutely nothing to
endear themselves to the village). I worked with Iain McRury who is in one
of your pictures and thought you might be interested to know that he now
runs the coffee corner on the main street next to Nevissport. (top bloke by
the way!!) I have some images of both the interior and exterior of the old
Osprey building at various stages of the refurbishment which may be of
interest to you. They may be too large to e-mail so I'll pop them on a disc
soon and send them to you. Anyway, you have a cracking site!
Keep up the good
work

Yours Sincerely
Paul Moran
