The Marcliffe Drawing Room is spacious and cozy at the same time. Lots of small groups are nestled into intimate seating areas while a bartender mixes a refreshing cocktail. I opted for a Kir Royale which always feels festive and seemed fitting as we waited to check into our luxurious room in this five- star hotel in Aberdeen near the River Dee. @tabadaletravels @marcliffehotel #luxurytravel #fivestartravel #drawingroom #kirroyale #europeanluxury @visitscotland #aberdeen #riverdee

The lobby at The Marcliffe Hotel has always been elegant and comfortable. The magnificent display of sunflowers flowers on the round table are so welcoming. It’s nice to see a couple of the large Raku pieces on the mantel. They will always remind me of Stewart Spence since he loved the work of John Hine and had many examples of Scotties, hares and even a Jack Russell. @tabadaletravels @marcliffehotel #elegant #sunflowers #raku #sculpture #rakuanimals #hare #scottie #jackrussell

It’s always such a joy to return to The Marcliffe Hotel and find Welcome greeting- this time in chocolate! Kevin and I used to find a letter in our room signed by Stewart Spence, who we just learned passed away recently. We adored him and the wonderful hotel he created. @tabadaletravels @marcliffehotel @visitscotland #golftravel #luxurylifestyle #luxurytravel #fivestartravel #aberdeen

The music gets going with Paul Carroll on guitar and vocals, Michael Philip on accordion ( the box does the talking), and Fergie Begley on guitar and vocals. The lads put out a big, beautiful harmonious sound, playing Irish standards, Scottish tunes and even some folk and pop music. @tabadaletravels @hamshamestandrews #golf #golftravel #farewelldinner #golfandmusic #irishsongs #scottishmusic #accordionist #scottishtunes #rockandroll

If you are out for a stroll in the charming town of St Andrews, find your way to South Street and bumble into Fraser Gallery. It is one of Scotland’s oldest privately owned galleries. The very unique space even has a lovely garden in back, perfect for sculpture in different media. @tabadaletravels @frasergallerystandrews #standrews #fineart #artgallery #scottishartists #originalart

The Fraser Gallery shows the work of David Storey. This nostalgic painting is done with egg tempera and oil on wood. This medium has been used for centuries and the pigment is applied in thin layers. The scale of Storey’s work is small and intimate. @tabadaletravels @frasergallerystandrews #fineart #artgallery #standrewsartgallery #figurativeartist #eggtempera

I have always been fascinated by the iconic woman artist that is Frida Kahlo. Her amazing life was tragic in many ways and her art is riveting. Self-portraits especially. The Fraser Gallery has a big roster of contemporary Scottish artists. Here I am in St Andrews on a golf trip but it’s very enjoyable when original art jumps out at you and pulls you into such a lovely space. @tabadaletravels #fineart #fridakahlo #artbooks #catalogueraisonne #tashen @frasergallerystandrews
