Tucked away in the beautiful Scottish countryside is the Tinto hotel. The hotel stands smartly among the tress and rolling hills of South Lanarkshire. Despite peaceful, scenic surroundings and an opulent interior, the Tinto Hotel may not be as sleepy as you might imagine. The former railway hotel was completed in 1914, the owners intending to provide a luxurious stopover for travellers en route to England, however the hotel never welcomed its first paying customer for many years due to the outbreak of World War One. The Tinto hotel was immediately requisitioned by the War Office to provide a haven for injured British officers. Some sadly never managed to leave, passing away in the hotel. Only when the horrors and hostilities of WW1 ended, did the Tinto hotel welcome its first guests, and did so proudly until it was called upon again to serve its nation as a hospital for Polish soldiers injured in conflict fighting the Nazis. The graves of some of the Polish soldiers can be found at the nearby ‘Shepherds’ Cemetery’ on the outskirts of Symington. During the Tinto Hotel’s wartime role, there was a secretive royal visit in 1942 by HRH Princess Mary the Princess Royal Countess of Harewood, aunt to the late Queen Elizabeth II. Princess Mary is thought to have visited to see the vital work being carried out at the Tinto House Hotel, then being used as a war casualty hospital.

Conclusion of the investigation

The Tinto hotel proved to live up to its reputation of paranormal activity. We had a lot of activity using the Ouija boards with both groups receiving the names Nick and Nicholas. One group received the information that a boy of 14 named Lucas died in a fire and had nine siblings. Both groups used the Hexcom devices and again received identical information of Jupiter and Nick on several occasions. 

We tried a table tipping session in one of the function suites however received no responses. 

We tried to conduct an EVP session however both devices despite being fully charged had their batteries drained almost instantly. This was directly before the Ouija session that gave us amazing information.

During a Spirit Box session using the P-SB11 Spirit Box we were able to record a lot of responses to questions being asked. We asked how many spirits were in the hotel and were told seven. We asked if they were happy with us being there and were promptly told yes. We have posted the video of the spirit box session here and also on our YouTube and Facebook pages.

We had good responses using the copper dowsing rods for yes and no answers and many of our guests had really great personal experiences that I'm sure will stay with them forever.

I truly believe that the Tinto Hotel is inhabited by spirits and that they are happy for people to be there and share their space. I believe that they are happy the hotel is being looked after and is thriving.
