Innes House

Innes House is one of those rare places that feels both grand and genuinely welcoming. A classic Scottish house set in beautiful surroundings, it lends itself perfectly to larger gatherings, celebrations and multi-day stays where food plays a central role. I’ve worked there regularly over the years, cooking for groups of all shapes and sizes, and it’s a setting that naturally encourages people to settle in, relax and enjoy themselves properly.

The Dram Queen

The Dram Queen offers whisky tastings that feel far more like a conversation than a presentation. Run by Ann Miller, who has spent decades in the Scotch whisky world, the experience is tailored, relaxed and genuinely informative without ever becoming heavy. Whether it’s a private tasting or something paired with food, it’s a good way of turning a dram into something properly memorable.

ATom Tours – Highlands & Speyside

Atom Tours is run by Amy, a Moray native with a deep knowledge of the Highlands and a knack for shaping a day around what people actually want to see. The tours are thoughtful and flexible, mixing a bit of history, a bit of storytelling and a strong sense of place. It’s a relaxed way to explore the area properly without feeling like you’re being marched from stop to stop.

Rising Roots Microgreens – Moray

The Dram Queen offers some of the most engaging and genuinely informative whisky experiences you’ll come across in Speyside. Run by Ann Miller — with over 30 years in the Scotch whisky industry — her tastings are tailored, thoughtful and never feel scripted. Whether it’s a private session, a food pairing or a deeper dive into how whisky actually works, it’s the sort of experience that turns a drink into something far more interesting.

ESSE Cookers

ESSE has been building cookers and stoves in Britain since the mid-19th century, and that depth of experience shows in the way they perform. Their ranges are designed for proper cooking — steady heat, solid engineering and a connection to a slower, more considered way of working in the kitchen. They’re as much about how you cook as what you cook, and they suit a style of food that’s rooted in patience, fire and good ingredients.

Scottish Venison

Scottish Venison represents a network of people working across both wild and farmed deer, all with a shared interest in producing and promoting venison properly. It’s a not-for-profit organisation focused on good practice, traceability and making sure the meat is valued for what it is — a natural product that reflects the land it comes from. When it’s handled well, venison is one of the most honest ingredients you can cook with, and organisations like this help keep those standards where they should be.
