Beauchamp Edinburgh is a solo operation, clients interact with me directly and all of the ...

We spent five minutes talking to Jamie Hodgson, founder of Whitehill & Paddock who are sponsoring the Estates Challenge at The Scottish Game Fair this year. Here's how the conversation went. How did you get the idea for Whitehill & Paddock? Whitehill & Paddock is a nod to my grandpa's love for field sports—he was a real old-school shooter. His stories and passion for the Scottish countryside stuck with me, inspiring the brand you see today. It wasn’t just about shooting jackets and trousers. It was about capturing that essence of tradition and blending it with a bit of modernity. We ...

How can you make sure a conservatory will be a welcome extension to your home, a welcoming area that can be used year-round? Rather than a dumping place for half-dead plants and boxes, which is too hot in summer and too cold in winter? Planned carefully, a conservatory can be a comfortable living space throughout the year. But how do you achieve that? We talked to Mozolowski & Murray who will be exhibiting at The Scottish GameFair this summer and asked them a few questions about the right (and wrong way) to choose a conservatory. Do you need planning permission for ...

The swirl of a kilt, the music of bagpipes and dancers deftly moving their feet in time. Highland dancing is as Scottish as porridge, haggis, Robbie Burns and one of the hallmarks of this wonderful country's culture. The young Highland dancers who will be entertaining audiences at The Scottish Game Fair have learnt their technique at The Gordon School of Dancing in Montrose. I caught up with Robina Addison, the principal, and asked her a few questions. Q: Can you tell us a little about the history of Highland dancing and how it began? R: Traditionally kings and Scottish clan chiefs ...
