EVENTS AND VENUES ATTENDED THE SCOTLAND MEANS BUSINESS EVENT.
This was a 4 day event with a mixture of 1 to 1 appointments with designated venues:
Outstanding venues included:
- Traquair House
- Carberry Tower
- Lennoxlove House
- and of course… a Distillery!!
The event offered the opportunity to visit some amazing venues and hotels – some of which are not open to the public generally. This included a family home (imagine Downton Abbey) with an amazing Art Collection including Tisians and Constables – so a unique opportunity to enjoy a dinner in these unique surroundings.
For the duration we stayed in 4 different hotels, and visited atleast 8 others in and around Edinburgh.
At the end of this trip, I met up with a client on site visits and looked at a hotel in Edinburgh and several in Glasgow.
