The Royal Hotel figures 12 & 17.P, once called the Defiance Inn. Its first name was taken from that of the stage coach, which stopped here on its daily journey to and from Edinburgh and Aberdeen. A three-storeyed building with attics (additions were made to it in the nineteenth century), to its west side still stands the nineteenth-century, two-storeyed Assembly Room section, with its ground-floor shops, pend arch and tall first floor. The Defiance Inn was re-named the Royal Hotel after 1844, when Queen Victoria and Prince Albert spent the night there.
