Channel 4 has announced a new fly-on-the-wall documentary following tennis legend Sir Andy Murray and wife Kim Murray as they renovate a luxury Scottish hotel.
Filmed over the course of a year, the three-part Our Scottish Hotel charts the transformation of the couple’s Cromlix hotel as it undergoes major work – including the construction of a new wing with two restaurants.
The show offers access-all-areas to the Murrays and their 80-strong team as the work takes place – initially while it remains open to guests, before it closes completely for five months to let the renovation complete.
Kim Murray said: “The last couple of years have been really full of change at Cromlix with a huge building project and a totally new direction for fine dining and wellness, and I was really keen to document that as there were so many personal stories and interesting discoveries along the way.
“Andy and I haven’t worked on anything together before, so that was a fascinating process – and a learning curve! I’ve loved shaping this building and estate into what’s now become a really thriving and much-loved Scottish business. I hope people enjoy watching the show and meeting the team behind the hotel.”
Emily Shields, Channel 4’s commissioning editor, added: “Cromlix is a fascinating world to step inside, and this series offers a rare glimpse behind the scenes of a business where no detail is overlooked.
“Kim and Andy are embarking on an ambitious transformation, but at its heart this is a story about people: the team whose hard work brings Cromlix to life, and the shared desire to create something truly special.
“We’re delighted to be bringing viewers this warm, intimate and revealing look at life behind the doors of one of Scotland’s most distinctive hotels.”
