Another five-star venue for the New Year's Eve special from BBC Alba. Exclusive, breathtaking unique Achnagairn House, Kirkhill, by Beauly, Inverness-shire. A wedding and events venue, with 24 luxury bedrooms.
Presenters Derek ‘Pluto’ Murray and Kirsteen MacDonald will be joined by "a host of musical talent" including Manran, Duncan Chisholm, Hamish Napier, Kathleen MacInnes, Rona Lightfoot and Dingwall Gaelic Choir.
I wonder which bedrooms they'll get. Here's a selection....
The bathroom in “Antigua” is tiled in travertine stone from Italy and has two baths, both of which look out over the grounds. Another bedroom and bathroom, “Ring-a-ring-a-roses” has a round shape, complete with a round bed, topped with a circular chandelier. For those with more conservative tastes, “Carpe Diem” has a traditional 4 poster bed, a double aspect view and an enormous bathroom, with whirlpool bath and a separate large shower. Yet another has a hidden safe, original heavy wooden furniture and a bathroom with a naval theme - an artist was commissioned to hand paint ships onto the tiles for us.
The house is owned by Mike and Gillian Lacey-Solymar. Gillian worked for 15 years as a BBC business reporter on programmes
including Working Lunch, Newsnight, Breakfast News
and Moneybox, as well contributing to the World
Service.
