The Torridon review: the chic Highlands hotel where you can live out your The Traitors fantasy

While little ones are welcomed with toy Highland cows, shortbread and kids menus in the Torridon’s on-site pub, this is a grown-up hotel of civilised, carpeted breakfast rooms, antiques and tasting menus rounded off with rare whiskies. That being said, the hotel rolled out the red carpet for our brood: chocolates, cots, speedy bedtime milk deliveries and assisting the Highland Cows with lunchtime. Though I didn’t sense it was a muscle they flexed regularly. The dizzying culinary standards, romantic setting and genteel, traditional rooms are geared towards couples, older families, outdoorsy types, Caledonian-inclined Americans and whisky-pilgrims. Those after a kid’s club or an extensive programme of sprog activities should consider Gleneagles or the Fife Arms. Source link

Trump says Canada is a bad trade partner. Are his tariff threats justified?

As Ottawa floats possible solutions to U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariff threats, it faces a dilemma: does it appease the United States and open up the domestic market, inflicting volatility and job losses but potentially driving down consumer prices, or does it stand firm with retaliatory threats to protect Canadian industries? Canada is bracing for the impact of Trump’s threats to levy blanket tariffs of 25 per cent on all goods entering the U.S. from Canada and Mexico, with much being said about price hikes for certain consumer goods if the tariffs come into force, but little attention paid to what possible solutions, like opening up the market, could mean.“I’m not going to sugarcoat it, there will be job losses if we open up those protected industries,” says Ian Lee, associate profe...
