Swanston Brasserie & Scoot – A Perfect Combination

It has been a while since we had the time to write a blog, but rest assured, the Scoot team have been super busy pressing ahead with our 2013 plans. As well as organising our exciting venture into Glasgow, we have also been spreading the Scoot word further around Edinburgh. As you may have noticed in previous blog posts, you can now find Scoot menu inserts in various bars and restaurants across the city, including The Howard, Bread Street Brasserie and Monboddo Bar – and we are delighted to add the wonderful Swanston Brasserie to that heady and ever-growing list. For those who aren’t familiar with Swanston Brasserie, it is an independent all day eatery located within the same building as Swanston New Golf Club Limited, surrounded by The Pentland Regional Park. Part of the 700 acre Swanston Farm, it sits in the tranquillity of the Pentland Hills – and...

Scoot Away The Snow

Following on from our previous blog post about driving in snowy conditions, we decided to compile a Scoot list of the best performing cars in snow, just for you. With these hazardous conditions becoming more and more regular, this post might even help you reach an informed decision next time you’re considering a new car! We’ve brought together cars that have been rated highly for their capabilities by expert sources such as What Car?, Car Buyer, Kelley Blue Book and Trusted Dealers. Then we got our expert Scoot winter driver, Michael, who can drive any car in snowy/icy conditions and manoeuvre it safely, to pick the five best cars. So, without further ado, here is Scoot’s definitive list of the best performing cars in snow. Land Rover Discovery The Land Rover Discovery is known for its ability to effortlessly adapt to extreme weather conditions. With a variety of controls,...

And the Entrepreneur of the Year is…

One of the founders of Scoot, Ranjit Anderson, could soon have her name up in lights – after being nominated for a top award at the Scottish Asian Business Awards. Ranjit, who set up Scoot with husband Michael and brother Surbjit in 2003, has been nominated in the Entrepreneur of the Year category – along with Umer Ashraf Malik of iCafe and Rita Ahmad-Poddar of Peppermint Studios. The Scottish Asian Business Awards is a prestigious competition which celebrates and showcases the talent and achievements of Scottish Asian entrepreneurs who are pioneers in their respective industries. And the Entrepreneur of the Year award, which Ranjit is nominated for, highlights the incredible achievements of an ‘individual whose entrepreneurial spirit and drive has propelled them to success’. The awards, which will be held this Wednesday night at The Thistle Hotel in Glasgow, have been celebrated annually since 2006. The previous awards have always been a resounding success, attracting numerous high profile businessmen and woman. In...

It’s ALL About The Howard

You can view part of the insert, which includes prices from The Howard to various areas in and around Edinburgh, below. And since The Howard is helping spread the Scoot word, we thought we would return the favour and let you know a little bit more about this fantastic hotel. The intimate and discreet hotel, which occupies three Georgian townhouses in the heart of Edinburgh’s New Town, has a great menu and great prices. Not only that, but the Howard’s staff really are the loveliest people in the hospitality business; we really cannot recommend it highly enough!
