Guest Emotional Experience

Explorers, Not TouristsA Scottish treat

“Let the Scottish touch in the free minibar of iron bru, Scottish water and tunnocks wafer biscuits, much needed after a 10 hour concert experience”

Shelley from Jersey

Perfect for Finding FriendsPersonalized touch

“My sister really likes lemon drop martinis which are not really a thing in Scotland- she described the ingredients to the bartender who said he would give it a shot and she had one of the best lemon drop martinis she has ever had”
