History
The original 'Frierskerse' was established as a friary back in the 13th century, close to the present-day 'Friars Carse'.
)
The property became home to the Riddell family and named 'Glenriddell', with
Robert Burns, the celebrated Scottish poet, as a regular houseguest.
The property passed through many hands before becoming home to Dr James Crichton (better known as the Admirable Crichton') in 1809. Remodelled in 1873, the house was once more named 'Friars Carse' in 1895, and established as a hotel in 1938.
