  • I visited the Gleneagles hotel in Perthshire, Scotland, for a night. It cost about $470.
  • The attention to detail, luxurious setting, and breakfast buffet were the best parts of my stay.

I've lived a one-hour drive from Gleneagles — Scotland's most prestigious hotel — my whole life.

I finally visited for the first time this year.
