I don't know if this one still exists but I was excited enough when I spied it in 1978 on the hotel across the street from ours, that I took a picture of it. My wife and I were on our honeymoon in Inverness. We cycled from Prestwick to Carlisle and from Edinburgh to Dundee that trip. We took buses and trains the rest of the time. We're from the East Coast of the US and didn't realize that the "hills" in Scotland were more like mountains to us!

I've been scanning old slides and saw this shot and wondered what was so interesting about a hotel. Then I zoomed in on the emblem.
