I’ve just spent the past couple of days at Gleneagles and I must say it’s really very nice.
As I type I’m sitting in Braid’s Coffee Lounge with The Wife having a latte, passing the time until we get our ride back to Edinburgh airport to catch a jet back down south.
Gleneagles is just like you’d imagine it, grand old magnificence side by side with an air of understated grace.
According to my boss, Colin Montgomery was here playing golf yesterday, for those in the golfing know this is a good thing. I imagine it would be a bit like me bumping into Jeff Minter while playing Tempest 2000, sort of.
Still we’ve had a lovely time and I’ve enjoyed every minute of it. I’ve done Claridges and now I’ve done Gleneagles, I guess that just leaves the Waldorf Astoria…

Told you so - but how are we going to keep you down on the farm now????
Don’t worry, it takes more than Gleneagles to turn my head. Having said that though it was rather lovely.
One day I will be in a position to afford such luxury routinely.
