Two romantic old buildings: Scotland and NSW

There is a link, and here are two clues:

1889

1885

1791: Aberbrothock Abbey Scotland

Victoria Hotel, Hinton NSW: Built in the 1840s it is now one of Australia’s oldest continually licensed hotels.

And the link between the two buildings? My great-grandfather:

A plug for my cousin’s book: Shapeshifter : the strange life of John Hampton Christison, Professor of Dancing 1858 to 1923, Ray Hampton Christison, City of Greater Lithgow Mining Museum, 2014.
