Scotland's last proper coaching inn was the Duke of Gordon, Kingussie, Badenoch. The coach ran from there, on the Perth/Inverness railway line, to Tulloch in Glen Spean on the Glasgow/Fort William line. Lads who joined up for the Great War, living on the stage coach's route in 1914, (if they were lucky to survive), returned home in 1918 on a motor bus. Such was progress!

Wow, thanks to all for the wonderful history and links.  I can't wait to study all typed here and read everything mentioned here.  My ancestor's history in America was known, but his childhood in England was a blank page.  He is my hero, and I really appreciate this.  :D
