Cranshaws Castle, luxurious Scottish getaway, a place in the country to write, to love, to dream. Perfect retreat to remember the simple but beautiful things in life, fresh air, good food, conversation and friends. Tucked away far from preying eyes is a place in my humble opinion to stop, unwind and most likely pretty much do nothing. Certainly that is quite a statement as for some that is a challenge, no Gameboy, Twitter, Pokémon, or any number of social media crazes that keep us away from the pure and most important things in life which is human company, breathing, food,…

Gentlemans Butler had the delight to experience test driving the Volvo XC90 D5 R-Design for a luxury tour of the West Country. I car I drove retails at £63,000 and we can now report on our findings. If you asked two people, one a car lover and the other a lover of what a car offers, what they look for in a car you will probably get a series of very emotive answers and the other a group of practical pointers, both of which are perfectly valid. From an early age I can remember various car gadgets I liked. The…

With this in mind, it is naturally the rugged landscape of Scotland that springs to mind whenever the name whisky is uttered.…

After I had gone round myself I asked if the test driver would give me a few laps with him driving. Was that a wise question I ask !!!
