Located on the shores of bonnie Loch Lomond and just a short drive from Glasgow is the five-star De Vere owned Cameron House Hotel. Driving up to the hotel the wings appear like castle ramparts and walking up the path to the front door it seems an especially imposing building. The loch is just a [...]

It is great to be able to announce that I will be returning to bonny Scotland for the first time for a number of years, I’ve missed this stunning part of the United Kingdom and I am looking forward to working with the Glasgow City Marketing Bureau. The press trip is to promote the Glasgow and [...]
A Review; Chalet Les Mazots, Chamonix
on April 7, 2013
