HALDANES OF GLENEAGLES

The story of one of Scotland’s oldest families, from whose estate in Perthshire the world-famous Gleneagles Hotel took its name. It follows the fortunes of the family, highlighting the extraordinary contribution they have made in many areas as well as uncovering some of the more colourful episodes in the family’s history, such as long-buried secrets of romance in the teeth of parental opposition, a military career threatened by a youthful liaison with a blackmailing barmaid, and an attempt to run a temperance hotel in the western Highlands which ended in high farce.
