ID: PC_GLENGARRY_FOLDER_11_06D_01B DESCRIPTION: Sarah Ross, shown here, worked at the Hotel and, like many staff in many establishments, had a number of roles. As well as cleaning the rooms, waiting on tables and and working in the kitchen and behind the bar, she was also responsible for operating the petrol pumps. They were first installed at the Hotel in 1931 as privately owned cars became more widespread, leading to a significant increase in travel and tourism in areas like the Highlands that were previously much harder to reach.
