The opportunity is upon us again for you to nominate and support your favourite Scottish establishments and hosts for the 8th annual Scottish Hotel of the Year Awards.
Heralded as "The flagship awards for the Scottish hotel industry" by The First Minister Alex Salmond, the awards offer the chance for you, our guests, to celebrate excellent service you may have experienced in Scotland. As paying guests of Scottish Hotels or Serviced Apartments, the judges are looking for you to put forward your favourite, including any special members of staff.
The range of categories to vote for include Customer Care and Hospitality Award, Business Hotel of the Year, Luxury Apartments of the Year and Eco hotel of the Year.
To vote, please visit www.scottishhotelsoftheyear.com/nominate.aspx. Nominations close on 28 February. The awards ceremony will be held on 27 March. We'll let you know if we are lucky...
Many thanks for your consideration and of course, your custom. Enjoy our newsletter.
Kind Regards,
Colin Stone, General Manager
EXCITING STUFF
The latest sample of "stuff" to keep you entertained.
Blue Finger - You would need to be James Bond to buy this. It's the world's most expensive diamond ring at a mere $16.26m. That might be stretching the wallet so check out www.macintyres.co.uk for the latest bling at wholesale prices. If you forgot about Valentine's, this might save your bacon.
WikiLeaks - The most controversial story of the century to date. Read about Julian Assange's insight to world affairs as we didn't know it before. Available online at www.amazon.co.uk. You might have to burn it afterwards!
Sun Red Motorcycle - It only does 13 miles at 30mph with charged solar panels but it's a cost effective method of city transport. It's at concept stage and the panels do retract so you can get on it! If conventional motorcycling is more your scene grab a copy of the latest RiDE magazine which has just finished its RiDER Power awards (reader survey for best bikes) in 2010 or subscribe at www.greatmagazines.co.uk
