I don't think so either, looking at Googlemaps the River Tay runs behind the hotel and I can't see that on the photo. There is high ground in the photo but flat on the map.

I think it is Kenmore - you can see that long building on the satellite picture https://goo.gl/maps/YgBD8

Well done Sugarbakers,
     Hope this link works because it shows all the places on the photograph clearly.
          http://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=16&lat=56.5869&lon=-4.0015&layers=168
     The long white row looks like a house within a formal garden, not greenhouses. You can see on the photograph a hedge/shrub lined path running straight up the centre of the garden to the largest white 'thing,' obviously the house. Mains Farm is further to the right, not the 'Big Hoose'
     Slide the blue button on bottom left of screen for an up-to-date satellite over-view or click on 'Side by Side' to make comparing easy.
               Regards,     Dod.
