WILLIAMS WILL KICK OFF HIS ‘BRITPOP’ TOUR AT EDINBURGH’S SCOTTISH GAS MURRAYFIELD STADIUM AND AS THE CAPITAL GEARS UP FOR ROAD CLOSURES AND THOUSANDS OF FANS THIS WEEKEND, HE AND HIS FAMILY
HAVE BEEN LIVING IT UP ONE OF SCOTLAND’S MOST EXCLUSIVE HOTELS. 11:30, 29 May 2025 Robbie Williams and his wife Ayda have been living it up in Gleneagles before the start of his UK stadium
tour in Scotland on Saturday. Williams will kick off his ‘Britpop’ tour at Edinburgh’s Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium and as the capital gears up for road closures and thousands of fans
this weekend, he and his family have been living it up one of Scotland’s most exclusive hotels. Robbie’s wife Ayda revealed they have been making the most of the drink offerings available at
the £1600 a night five star hotel. She shared some pictures enjoying the whisky offerings at the plush resort, a favourite of Prince William and Princess Kate, John Travolta, Oasis and Sir
Sean Connery, when he was alive of course. Showing off the beautiful gardens where she and Rock DJ star Robbie have been enjoying walks, she also shared pictures of the nearby stream.

non-alcoholic Wild Idol priced at £30 a bottle in shops, making it one of the more expensive non alcoholic alternatives. Ayda joked: “My drink order just arrived.” Ayda also couldn’t resist
taking a picture of her table’s next order which consisted of four bottles of The Macallan whisky including one Time: Space Mastery 200 anniversary edition that was worth £1200 in the shops
and considerably more at Gleneagles. She laughed: “My other drink order just arrived.” She then showed off a vintage bottle of £1500 Eschenauer Cognac from 1825 as well as a £300 Macallan
sherry oak cask Highland Single malt. Her celebrations continued with a crepe flambé as she joked: “There may or may not have been alcohol in my dessert.” Williams recently admitted to The
Record that he had come to terms with his status as a cabaret artist. The former Take That singer said he now sees himself as “cringe” as he prepares to play in Scotland. Williams, 51, said:
“I'm going backwards in time to Tommy Cooper and Morecambe & Wise, Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin with a sweary twist. That's how I see myself now. “Whereas before, I wanted to
be rock ’n’ roll and high octane, I’m Robbie from a boy band and I can now be this guy, the creature that I always really meant to be.” He added: “I’m embracing parts of showbusiness that
people don't embrace these days. “I want to be cabaret, world-class cabaret but with an edge, sweary cabaret I suppose. “I think that it's cringe for a lot of people and not
necessarily a high art form but some of the best people in the world have been cabaret. Count Basie, Liza Minnelli, Tom Jones. “That's where I'm trying to propel myself and give
myself purpose, to embrace this tour and get through it. “I want to be the best entertainer there is. I don't see anybody trying to carve that lane out for themselves so that's
what I'm trying to do. “Music is healing as namaste as that sounds and nostalgia is also healing. Come and relive those moments that they lived with me in the past. It'll do them
good and it'll do me good too. I'm really looking forward to it.” Article continues below The singer and Ayda have four children, Theodora, 11, Charlton, nine, Colette, five, and
Beau, three.
