GLENEAGLES has unveiled Ochil House, which it says will 'pay homage to the inventors, dreamers, pioneers and partiers who helped shape Scottish history.' The design was inspired by the original private members clubs, where great minds would gather, and friendships were forged over vibrant debates, parlour games, a passion for pursuits and a love of food and drink.
Overlooking the hotel’s croquet lawn, it encompasses six rooms, named after original rooms in the hotel, including The Card Room, The Reading Room, The Writing Room and The Broadcasting Room. The space is also available to book for bespoke events.
The design team behind Ochil House, Ennismore Design Studio, sourced British and French antiques and used the finest fabrics, materials and bespoke craftsmanship to blend country-house tradition with a warm, relaxed atmosphere.
Conor O’Leary, Gleneagles’ General Manager, said: “Whether guests use the space to hold a fabulous candlelit supper; an elegant wedding reception; a lively cocktail party with friends; a decadent evening of whisky tasting with colleagues; or an important board room meeting – it’s the perfect place for any kind of celebration or social gathering, and the various rooms provide an inspiring setting for good conversation, good ideas, good food and good times.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
