Gleneagles puts the decadence back into dining
Gleneagles has relaunched its famous restaurant, The Strathearn, following a design transformation by Ennismore Design Studio. The space, which has
welcomed a host of famous faces over the decades, from Vivien Leigh, Sir Laurence Olivier and Sir Sean Connery, to John Travolta, Bob Hope and Her Majesty The Queen, unveiled a show-stopping new look inspired by the golden age of railway travel, when
glamorous socialites would travel in style from London to Gleneagles to enjoy summer seasons of country sports and decadent dining. The new designs
celebrate that elegant spirit through a setting that evokes the theatre of the outdoors, the beautiful flora and fauna of Scotland and the fine dining experiences of the 1920s and 30s. The creation of a stunning mosaic-floored orangery offers beautiful views of the
estate and the Ochil Hills across the seasons, while a new stage for musical performances complements the elegance and drama of the rich décor – evocative of first-class carriage journeys in the early twentieth century. A new kitchen-style
breakfast servery also doubles up as an occasional private dining space, breathing fresh life into the area that housed Gleneagles’ kitchen in the 1920s.

Speyside Distillery has signed a major new distribution deal which will lead to a 66 per cent increase in production of its single malt whisky. The agreement with Luzhou Laojiao International Development (HK) Co Ltd – a major force in the global duty free retail market – will see production rise from 600,000 litres to one million litres a year. The deal will also see Luzhou Laojiao distribute the artisan distillery’s SPEY and Beinn Dubh brands in China, where sales of Scotch whisky continue on an upward trend, increasing by 34.8 per cent in the first half of last year alone. Owners Speyside Distillers Ltd said the increase in production would not lead to the introduction of any new automation processes, but it is anticipated that demand could result in new jobs being created. The deal will place
the company’s spirits portfolio in duty free outlets across China, the United States and other key global markets, and Luzhou Laojiao will also handle distribution of Speyside Distillery products across China in its own retail stores.
