Podcast conversation with Russell Murray.
Russell and I originally met the PURE Life Experiences conference. PURE is one of my favorite conferences because the focus is luxury and experiential, the vibe is fun and a bit funky and the attendees are passionate and adventurous. 100% perfect for me and my clients.
Russell and I packed in as much as possible to our 50+ minutes. We talked about beautiful accommodations from glamping to 5* castles and epic adventures & insider experiences:
- Mountain biking, road biking, kayaking, hiking
- Sea safari-ing, wild swimming, falconry
- Wilderness dining in remote, private cottages
- Diving with basking sharks (I had to share a photo – see below…)
- Whisky tasting in snugs
- Touring Loch Ness
- Private kilt fitting (great to have for your next Halloween party or when you are invited to the Highland games)
- Iconic/historic golf – the Old Course at St Andrews was a favorite of Jack Nicklaus
- The only restaurant in Scotland with 2 Michelin stars – Andrew Fairlie
- A favorite for an unpretentious Scottish dining experience – Stockbridge Restaurant
A few of our favorite accommodations:
- Waldorf Astoria Edinburgh
- Torridon Hotel
- Kinloch Lodge
- Fife Arms
- Glennapp Castle
- Opening in 2022 – the Virgin Edinburgh
