A slice of luxury (Myres Castle) - Scotland Magazine
Published in Scotland Magazine Issue 31 on 16/02/2007.

Excerpt:

Myres Castle is a beautiful 16th century estate just 30 minutes from Edinburgh’s Forth Bridge. It is also the first exclusive use property to be awarded the prestigious five stars by VisitScotland.

A stay here is completely private, it’s more like a house-swap than a hotel. There is no reception desk, no room keys or door numbers, nothing that really shouts ‘you are in a hotel.’ Instead it softly whispers, ‘this is your home – relax.’ Staff are discreet but dedicated, appearing when they feel you might need something, slipping away when you’ve fallen asleep on the couch after lunch.

This kind of privacy is bound to appeal to celebrities. When questioned, the staff at Myres Castle refused to disclose the famous names of the most recent guests, but a sneaky peek through the visitors’ book revealed names like photographer David Bailey, musician Morrissey and comedian Rory Bremner.

    Sounds lovely. If I had the money I'd do the same - Life's too short. You only live once. Even though Morrissey is "miserable", he definetely seems to be appreciative of the finer things in life. I don't blame him. Life is depressing enough as it is.

    He has come a long way from being an early Manchester punk wearing a long black charity shop over-coat and odd shoes.

      I'm sure Morrissey loves that "Er, yes, just stand there and then you can piss off after I'd drunk myself stupid on £600 champagne"
      Either that or they gather round him when he's sleeping and photograph him dribbling and snoring like a warthog.

      Well, the 70s/early 80s was a time when you had to go to the town centre library in order to keep warm! Everyone was on the dole and nobody had any money. So you saved up on your heating by going to the library to keep warm for the evening. The only joys we had was a bit of sulphite (speed) and 2 pints of "snake bite" down the local pub.

      There were hundreds of students living like that in bedsits all over Manchester in the late 70s. To buy an LP was a luxury. once somebody bought the LP, we all recorded it on tape.

    "Myres Castle offers Driven Shoots & Fishing". I guess it's ok to betray your beliefs to enjoy this "playground for the rich and famous"...

  • "Thirty miles from Edinburgh's Forth Bridge" (which isn't really in Edinburgh)...or, in other words, in deepest darkest Fife.

    I guess Auchtermuchty just doesn't sound quite as sexy.
