The Balmoral, has introduced a unique whisky experience in partnership with The Macallan. The Edinburgh hotel is the first in Scotland to secure The Macallan Horizon whisky bottle, created by two of the world’s leading brands, one in exceptional single malt Whisky, The Macallan, and the other in extraordinary automotive design, Bentley Motors.

The 250th anniversary of the birth of Sir Walter Scott, 15th August 1771, is being celebrated not only in his native Scotland but around the literary world (who realises, incidentally, what ups and downs he had in his financial life as a result of continual share speculating?).

The Balmoral, a Rocco Forte hotel, has revealed a new look for one of its signature suites after an extensive refurbishment. The Glamis is billed as the “ultimate base” for couples and families, heads of state and VIPs.
