How to catch a Tiger

Watching Tiger Wood’s public apology this week was like watching a bit of cringe reality TV.  While there is absolutely no useful information to be learned from watching, you can’t tear yourself away from it because you weirdly enjoy watching a bit of humiliation sometimes.

Whether this had anything to do with Open Golf Rentals getting a large increase in bookings over the weekend for the 2010 Open Golf Championship, I’m not very sure.  He certainly didn’t confirm his appearance and I have no knowledge of him booking any luxury St. Andrew’s properties.  It might however have turned people away from complaining about the cold and looking forward to the summer golf season ahead! 

Edible Edinburgh 

Traditionally, Scotland has not exactly been famous for haut cuisine; indeed, you’d be forgiven for thinking the country which brought deep-fried Mars Bars and Haggis (sometimes deep-fried) to the international table couldn’t compete on an International scale.

You’d be wrong though. The Edinburgh Stop of the International Taste Festival (heralded as the ‘World’s Greatest Restaurant Festival’) pays homage to Scotland’s Thriving Culinary Culture as May draws to a close (final dates TBC).

We often find landlords asking if they can advertise their property with us for a select period of time either while they are away on a long business trip or spending time in another property they own elsewhere.  Our answer is always simple; you can always have complete control of the availability of your property when advertising with us.

Rugby at Murrayfield, Edinburgh

With Edinburgh’s fantastic atmosphere and excellent hospitality there is no better place to watch a rugby game than at Murrayfield. With the Heineken Cup and the Magners League coming up, you should book your accommodation soon before it is too late to watch your favourite teams play for European glory.

Edinburgh is home to two major hospitals – The Royal Infirmary and The Royal Hospital for Sick Children. These hospitals provide specialist services across Scotland. The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh also provides training and examination for local and international students.

Destiny Scotland regularly houses those looking for temporary accom in Edinburgh for a variety of reasons.  One of the main causes is bursting or leaking of pipes in old Edinburgh houses.  During the cold winter months, these problems can easily occur and we can often offer immediate housing to those who need it and work with the insurance companies to provide full details so the tenants are covered.

With the festive season just around the corner many people’s thoughts are of visiting family.  Thoughts of cramming into the in-laws house are out voted in favour of self catering apartments where you can relax but still be in close proximity for the family events.

Every year Edinburgh hosts one of the most magical Christmas seasons ever.

Our beautiful city has everything to offer from craft markets to shopping.

Rent Edinburgh Flats, a part of the Destiny Scotland Group, is seeing a stable but increasing demand for hogmanay accommodation for this year's event.  Edinburgh's world famous Street Party is a huge draw for many visitors, but the night before Hogmanay on George Street is also a great spectacle.  The German market in Princes Street Gardens provides a fantastic festive atmosphere with mulled wine and treats available to enjoy while looking onto the ice rink below.

Edinburgh is a leading European business city and is considered globally to be a city where businesses will thrive in the future. Increasing numbers of businesses are setting up offices in Edinburgh and employees are relocating on a short term basis. Rent Edinburgh Flats, part of the Destiny Scotland Group, has seen an increase in short term relocation for work.
