Kings House Hotel
The Kings House Hotel is an inn at the eastern end of Glen Coe, at its junction with Glen Etive in the Scottish Highlands. The inn, in an isolated position about 2 km east of the head of the glen towards Rannoch Moor, facing Buachaille Etive Mor, is a popular hostelry with rock climbers. It is called the King's House because it was used by the British Army during the subjugation of the Highlands following the Jacobite Rising of 1745. In 2019 the hotel reopened after a substantial 1960s extension was demolished. Only the original 18th-century structure was retained and incorporated into the new building.

King's House, Winchester
The King's House in Winchester was a late 17th-century planned royal palace in the English county of Hampshire. Winchester had been the capital of Wessex and England in Anglo-Saxon times, but became a backwater after the Norman Conquest of England. Built for King Charles II of England by Sir Christopher Wren from 1683 to 1685, the King's House stood on a site adjoining the castle it was to replace, and modelled after the Palace of Versailles, though on a somewhat smaller scale. It was to have sweeping views, walks and gardens descending to the cathedral. Although it was structurally completed, the money to complete it ran out and the project was eventually abandoned after the death of Charles II in February 1685. Wren had cheerfully assured the King that the house would be complete in a year, to which Charles, who was feeling his age, made his famous reply that "a year is a great time in my life". The building was gutted by fire in 1894 and demolished.Fraser p.432 Column ...
