Your Name Sir? Bond, James Bond ...
The five-star Isle of Eriska Hotel has launched a James Bond Escape package to celebrate 50 years of the movie franchise.On arrival at Edinburgh airport, budding Bonds will be given the keys to an Aston Martin DB9, along with a recommended route map, taking in Rannoch Moor and Glencoe - a location in the recent Skyfall movie.
Once ensconced at the hotel, a private speed boat will be on hand for private trips to the nearby Isle of Mull – guaranteed to leave guests shaken, not stirred.
In the evening, guests will be treated to a Martini Cocktail Masterclass, where the history of 007’s favourite tipple will be explained ahead of a black-tie dinner.
The following day, guests can visit the locations of From Russia with Love and The Spy Who Loved Me before heading back to Edinburgh.
There will also be treatments on offer at the hotel’s ESPA spa or a round of golf on the Isle of Eriska’s 9-hole course.
Anyone tempted? Although women would have to register as Jemima Bond or something, I was quite taken with this - the thought of messing about with all those gadgets and things but not sure now if that is available. I had visions of a kind of Westworld-type thing but, alas, it seems not to be the case. Then I saw the price: The James Bond Package starts from £1,500 per person
Anyone still planning a minibreak

Re: Your Name Sir? Bond, James Bond ...
I prefer the 'real' thing. Have been to Russia several times, walked across 'Red Square' (Krasnieya Ploshits) and been inside the Hermitage museum in Leningrad (now once again renamed St:Petersburg). Have even spent some time in Siberia too - that was extremely cold (-35 o C during the day and colder at night).
