Robbie Williams and wife Ayda's luxury Scottish resort stay before Edinburgh gig
Robbie Williams and his wife Ayda have been spending some time in Gleneagles before he kicks off his UK stadium tour at Edinburgh on Saturday. Williams will start his 'Britpop' tour at Murrayfield Stadium and as the capital gears up for road closures and thousands of fans this weekend, he and his family have been living it up one of Scotland's most exclusive hotels, reports The Daily Record. Robbie's wife Ayda revealed they have been making the most of the drink offerings available at the £1600 a night five star hotel.

Showing off the beautiful gardens where she and Rock DJ star Robbie have been enjoying walks, she also shared pictures of the nearby stream. She then showed off an ice bucket containing six bottles of wine including the non-alcoholic Wild Idol priced at £30 a bottle in shops, making it one of the more expensive non alcoholic alternatives. Ayda joked: 'My drink order just arrived.' She then captured a picture of her table's next order which consisted of four bottles of The Macallan whisky including one Time: Space Mastery 200 anniversary edition that was worth £1200 in the shops and considerably more at Gleneagles. She laughed: 'My other drink order just arrived.' Her celebrations continued with a crepe flambé as she joked: 'There may or may not have been alcohol in my dessert.' Williams recently admitted to The Daily Record that he had come to terms with his status as a cabaret artist. The former Take That singer said he now sees himself as 'cringe' as he prepares to play in Scotland. Williams, 51, said: 'I'm going backwards in time to Tommy Cooper and Morecambe & Wise, Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin with a sweary twist. That's how I see myself now. 'Whereas before, I wanted to be rock 'n' roll and high octane, I'm Robbie from a boy band and I can now be this guy, the creature that I always really meant to be.' Join Edinburgh Live's Whatsapp Community here and get the latest news sentstraight to your messages. He added: 'I'm embracing parts of showbusiness that people don't embrace these days. 'I want to be cabaret, world-class cabaret but with an edge, sweary cabaret I suppose. 'I think that it's cringe for a lot of people and not necessarily a high art form but some of the best people in the world have been cabaret. Count Basie, Liza Minnelli, Tom Jones. 'That's where I'm trying to propel myself and give myself purpose, to embrace this tour and get through it. 'I want to be the best entertainer there is. I don't see anybody trying to carve that lane out for themselves so that's what I'm trying to do.

Come and relive those moments that they lived with me in the past. It'll do them good and it'll do me good too. I'm really looking forward to it.' The singer and Ayda have four children, Theodora, 11, Charlton, nine, Colette, five, and Beau, three.
