Grantown-on-Spey history
The burgh was founded in 1765 during the early stages of the Industrial Revolution to encourage both agricultural marketing and handicrafts. It was part of a wider effort at social and economic improvements brought about by some progressive landlords following the decades of peace after the Jacobite rising of 1745. The official opening ceremony for the new town occurred on 12th June 1766, with a procession and celebration party. Queen Victoria and Prince Albert stayed for a night at the Grant Arms on 4th September 1860.
