Forbes4 days ago

These salmon flies are hand-tied in Scotland and sold by the Fife Arms.
Luxury hotels are used to catering for - and enchanting - a clientele who are used to having the best of everything. Their superb curation of experiences also extends to their boutiques. Here are some of the best gifts to treat the father in your life.
This Edinburgh hotel has opened a shop that shares its Victorian aesthetic.
Edinburgh's most experiential hotel - The Witchery- has linked up with the city's most famous leather goods specialist MacKenzie. Inspired by the hotel's exuberant Victoriana, the Gladstone Overnight Travel Bag (£1595) combines leather and brass fittings with the finest Scottish, fully waterproofed canvas. Designed for weekend breaks, the large main compartment has a pocket suitable for a small laptop or a wash bag. The base is reinforced, and solid brass feet keep it off the ground, ensuring your bag is fit to take you on a lifetime of adventures.
Bamford London has produced a new watch for the Hotel du-Cap-Eden-Roc on France's Cote d'Azur.
Just in time for Father's Day, Hotel du-Cap-Eden-Roc has launched the Bamford Riviera Watch – a limited-edition collaboration between the iconic hotel in Antibes and the luxury watch company Bamford London. This sleek timepiece comes in three Mediterranean-inspired hues: Sea Blue, Sky Blue, or White. With its stainless-steel casing, self-winding movement, waterproof design, and the iconic Eden-Roc lifebuoy detailing the second hand.
The Claridge's Cocktail Gift Set will help your father get a taste for Fumoir, Claridge's famous bar.
Revisit - or anticipate - a trip to Fumoir, Claridge's justly venerated cocktail bar with this Claridge's Cocktail Gift Set (£175.00). A deeply delicious dive into the hotel's Jazz Age (see also the hotel's Bright Young Things Sleepover package). The set comes with two ready-mixed bottles of Fumoir's Old Fashioned and Negroni. The gift also contains a copy of Claridge's The Cocktail Book, plus olives and mixed nuts, wrapped up in a gift box with ribbons and a fully authentic sense of indulgence.
Taurus is the new blended whisky from the Torridon hotel in Scotland.
One of Scotland's best-kept hotel secrets, the family-run Torridon hotel in Wester Ross has just launched the limited edition Taurus Whisky (£125). Blending a two-grain whisky with a single malt, with hints of aged apple, stone fruits and vanilla, Taurus Whisky is a labour of love born from The Torridon's owner, Dan Bristow and his best friend Hamish, who hails from a distinguished distilling family.
Gleneagles Hotel in Scotland
Since it opened a century ago, Scotland's most famous hotel has been known as the Glorious Playground. With the opening of the Gleneagles Sporting Club, there's even more reason to love Gleneagles. Produced in Scotland with 100% Lambswool Shetland Cloth and inspired by the surrounding Ochil Hills, the Tweed Flat Cap (£130) comes in three sizes and is tailor-made for strolls across the countryside.
The Newt has a new collaboration with the cult Niwaki producer of garden implements.
In a particularly apt cross-pollination, Somerset's acclaimed Newt hotel and gardens in Somerset has joined forces with the cult Niwaki garden tool company. A blend of horticultural expertise with Japanese craftsmanship, the range includes the Niwake Samue jacket in Newt green and the Hori Hori tool (£38), a gardening tool for digging, weeding, and planting bulbs, engraved with The Newt's logo and accompanied by a custom canvas sheath.
The Fife Arms in Braemar has showcased Scottish crafts since opening in 2018.
Yes, Scotland is strongly featured on this list, but its craft traditions are currently in a very sweet spot that utilises both heritage skills and innovation. The Fife Arms has been instrumental in championing these. Based on the River Dee, TwinPeakes is dedicated to the art of fly fishing and has created a collection of bespoke salmon flies most suited to Highland fishing spots. The Fife Arms Salmon Fishing Tin (£145) has nine flies that are each individually hand-tied in Scotland using a palette of the Fife Arms colours. For different conditions in the season, the flies are presented in an engraved aluminium fly tin made by renowned fly tin maker Richard Wheatley Ltd and lined with sustainable British wool.
These cricket socks epitomise Estelle Manor's playful approach to its boutique's offering
There's nothing wrong with socks as a Father's Day gift, especially if they come from Estelle Manor, the ultra-hip Oxfordshire members' club and hotel. These nicely retro Estelle Manor cricket socks (£20) will multitask for other sports too and have plum detailing.
The Hoxton has collaborated with Barc London to produce matching sweaters for dogs and their humans.
For all the dog dads out there, the Hoxton Hotel group has collaborated with Barc London to produce a collection of matching knits. With two patterns - Out of Office and Holiday Club - using the colour palette of the global Hoxton group, each jumper helps support local dog shelters with a 10 per cent donation from the profits. Made from 100 per cent cotton, human ($60) and canine versions ($40) come in XS to XL versions.

Warning for Aussie families going camping ahead of the King's birthday long weekend

Even though it's getting cold, some risks are heightened. Found out how to stay safe and avoid fines of up to $47,000. It's important to know the rules around campfires, as mistakes can be devastating for the environment and very costly for the camper. Source: Getty A warning has been issued for those planning to get away this long weekend. For many Aussies, public holidays go hand-in-hand with a trip away, but those heading outdoors to spend a couple of nights under the stars are being urged to stay alert. Now that it is officially winter, it may feel like the fire risk has passed – but authorities in one state are reminding campers that many parks and forests remain dry, meaning bush fire risk is still very real and present. In parts of western, southwestern and southeastern Victoria, a warmer and drier-than-average autumn has led to a higher fire risk than usual. Forest Fire Management Victoria Chief Fire Officer Chris Hardman said campfires can quickly become devastating bushfires. Authorities warn that even though the temperatures have dropped, the fire risk is actually heightened. Source: Forest Fire Management Victoria 'Even at this time of year, just one unattended or poorly managed campfire can cause serious damage to the environment and put lives and property at risk,' Mr Hardman said. ADVERTISEMENT 'This season, we've responded to more than 370 incidents involving campfires. This included the Boroka Lookout Fire, where an illegal campfire turned into a bushfire in difficult terrain, on the edge of the cliff diverting resources responding to bushfires in the Grampians National Park. 'With a little extra care around your campfire this long weekend, we can keep forests and parks healthy and safe for everyone to enjoy.' He added an important tip, reminding campers to never leave a campfire unattended and always use water to extinguish it. If it's cool to touch, it's safe to Fire Management Victoria Chief Fire Officer Chris Hardman Rangers will be patrolling the state's parks and forests on the lookout for any illegal campfires and rule flouters this long weekend. So what are the rules? You can light a campfire anywhere in a state forest if it is safe to do so No fires allowed on Total Fire Ban Days If it is hot and windy, reconsider if you really need to light a fire Fireplaces need to be either purpose-built by the land manager or in a hole in the ground at least 30cm deep Clear at least 3 metres around the fire of anything that could burn, like leaves, tents, clothing etc. Keep your fire and all logs under 1 metre across Never leave a fire unattended Fully extinguish a fire before going to bed or leaving the campsite – even for a short period of time Only use water to put out a campfire. Ashes can stay hot underneath dirt and soil, and can reignite days later ADVERTISEMENT Anyone found breaking the rules in Victorian public land face a maximum penalty of $19,759 if the matter goes to court. Lighting a fire on a Total Fire Ban day can land you a seriously big $47,421.60 fine and two years in jail. Do you have a story tip?

'It's so unlike him': Sisters appeal for information after Scottish man Greg Monks goes missing on stag do

The family of a Scottish man who went missing on a stag do in Portugal have urged police to ramp up their efforts to find him. Greg Monks, 38, from Glasgow, was last seen in Albufeira in the early hours of Wednesday morning, on the first night of a five-day stag do. His parents and his girlfriend flew out to to help with the search the next day, but have not found any recent sightings of him. Speaking to , Mr Monks's sisters Jillian and Carlyn said they are "waiting for answers". "As a family, we're worried sick," Carlyn added. "It's just so unlike him, but myself and Jillian are just trying to hold each other up back home." Jillian then said: "He deserves to be found, he deserves to be looked for, we need him home. "He's a big part of our family, and it's just unimaginable if he's just lying somewhere and we can't find him." Carlyn also called her brother "a real family man", while Jillian said that "I know that if he could phone us or reach out to us, he would, he wouldn't put us through this". Jillian said that after his friends told her "he's not come home from the night before", they asked "if there was any way we could track his phone or try and see what his location is". "I just couldn't believe it," she added. "It's not like him, he wouldn't normally do anything like this. "It had only been 12 hours since he was seen, but we were just so worried." She and his friends then tried to report Mr Monks as missing, but she said "it wasn't really taken seriously at first because it hadn't been that long". Jillian added that when her family arrived in Albufeira, police told them they had spotted Mr Monks twice on CCTV footage walking around the residential area. The area where the 38-year-old was last seen had a lot of "rough terrain" - including rocky outcrops and cliffs - and was more than an hour's walk from the Albufeira Strip, where he was thought to have left his friends. Jillian then said that while the police are looking for Mr Monks, "they just don't have the manpower" to search the area fully, and "it's been difficult for them to get the information" they are looking for. Read more: The sisters are calling for the police to use dogs to help track down Mr Monks, and have asked locals, "if you know anything, any tiny bit of information, get in touch". They have set up a Facebook page so people can get in touch with any information about Mr Monks's whereabouts.

Sam Heughan to play Macbeth in Royal Shakespeare Company debut

OUTLANDER star Sam Heughan is to play Macbeth in his debut with the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC). The British theatre company has announced its programme of events for 2025/2026, including a raft of plays that will be staged in Stratford-upon-Avon, the birthplace of famous playwright William Shakespeare. In the RSC's latest version of Macbeth, Scottish actor Heughan, 45, known for playing Highland warrior Jamie Fraser in romance drama Outlander, will star opposite The Day Of The Jackal actress Lia Williams, as Lady Macbeth. READ MORE: How Edinburgh became a capital truly fit for a king Heughan said: 'At age 18, standing on the main stage of the Royal Lyceum Edinburgh, playing 'spear-carrier number 2' (essentially a glorified extra) in a production of Macbeth, I could only dream of one day playing the infamous title character. 'It feels full circle to be returning to the stage, after over a decade working primarily in television and film. 'Not only is Macbeth my favourite Shakespeare play: intense, immediate and unsettling, it also happens to be famously Scottish. 'The RSC has always been at the pinnacle of my ambition and I feel deeply honoured and thankful to be working alongside some enormously talented and creative people. 'The Other Place is the perfect space to create an intense, intimate production and, like Lady M, we will be calling upon the spirits of the RSC's highly acclaimed past productions for their blessing.' David Tennant, Sir Ian McKellen, and Ralph Fiennes are among the actors who have played the famous character who, consumed by greed and power, murders the king to take the Scottish throne for himself. The new production will be shown at The Other Place theatre from October 9 to December 6. Elsewhere, four of Shakespeare's most famous characters have their stories revisited across two performances, also being staged at The Other Place, from January 2026. The first performance in All Is But Fantasy explores the story of Lady Macbeth, who is consumed by guilt after plotting to murder King Duncan, and Emilia, a character in tragedy play, Othello. The second performance looks at the story of Juliet, from tragic romance story Romeo And Juliet, and Richard III, who uses manipulation to become king in the eponymous play. READ MORE: Edinburgh Fringe programme launches with 3350 shows across 265 venues Olivier award-winning actor Adrian Lester will play the title role of Cyrano de Bergerac in a new version of Edmond Rostand's play about the novelist and playwright, showing at the Swan Theatre from September 27 to November 15. Over at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, Harry Potter star Alfred Enoch will star as Henry V in a play running from March 14 to April 25 2026. Other highlights include an 80-minute staging of King Lear and a two-part adaptation of John Galsworthy's novels, The Forsyte Saga, both playing at the Swan Theatre later in the year, with the former also going on tour. The RSC is also staging plays in the West End and recently announced the UK premiere of Liz Duffy Adams's Born With Teeth, which will play at Wyndham's Theatre, previewing on August 13 with a final performance on November 1. The production follows rival playwrights Christopher Marlowe, played by Doctor Who's Ncuti Gatwa, and Shakespeare, played by Killing Eve's Edward Bluemel.
