Having booked a service flat that proved disappointing, we chose to immediately relocate to a hotel and frankly chose The Scotsman simply because it was one of the first hotels we walked by.

My wife and I stayed @ The Scotsman for her 30th Birthday weekend yesterday. Staff are very friendly and although perhaps the Hotel could do with an renovation here and there, dont let that put you off staying at this hotel.
