The Scots Hotel - Tebirias

About the scots hotel - history:
"The original medical centre was established in the 19th century by Dr David Watt Torrance - a young Scottish doctor, who believed in his mission to heal the people of the Holy Land.
Dr Torrance first arrived in Tiberius in 1884, as the head of the Church of Scotland mission, and motivated by the poor health and sanitary conditions, worked day and night to serve the rapidly expanding population. In January 1894 the first hospital of Tiberias was opened with the specific purpose of being available to all regardless of race or creed."........
"The Scots Hotel is uniquely situated in the centre of Tiberias with direct frontage on to the Sea of Galilee.This boutique hotel complex, owned by The Church of Scotland, comprises several sensitively refurbished 19th century basalt stone buildings together with a “new build” main bedroom block. Redesigned and planned with the clear intention of preserving the original character and air of the properties, the outcome is a unique harmony of old and new, combining the original architectural style with the modern amenities you would expect of a five star hotel. " ..........
