The emergence of the LiveWire brand as a standalone vanguard of electric performance is a shift that demands the attention of any serious rider. For years, the project incubated within the hallowed, petrol-soaked halls of Harley-Davidson, a bold experiment by the Milwaukee giant to capture the future. Yet to truly thrive, it needed to shed its heritage shackles. Now operating as a fiercely independent, publicly traded entity, LiveWire has spent the last few years proving it can build machines with its own distinct soul.

Relocating a successful restaurant is never without risk. Diners inevitably arrive with expectations, particularly when the original has built such a loyal following. Since opening in Cathedral House in 2021, Celentano's has earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand, Scottish Restaurant of the Year at the Scotsman Scran Awards and a reputation as one of Glasgow's most exciting places to eat. Moving to the newly opened Arthouse Hotel on Bath Street marked the start of a new chapter for Dean and Anna Parker, but thankfully one thing hasn't changed — the food remains exceptional.

How a Revolution in Miniature Casks is Changing the Shape of Whisky Maturation

Whisky is an industry often defined by its reverence for tradition. Yet true innovation frequently occurs when someone looks at an established practice from an entirely different angle. For independent bottler Duncan Taylor Scotch Whisky, that angle is approximately one eighth the size of a standard sherry butt.

There's a particular kind of despair that comes from watching a dog shed across an open-plan floor faster than you can mop it. Cardine tile downstairs, carpet on the stairs and landing, and a coat that seems to renew itself daily — this is not a house that forgives a lazy cleaning routine. So when the MOVA Z60 Ultra Roller Complete arrived, the question I actually cared about wasn't whether it had impressive numbers on a spec sheet. It was simpler: would it get my Saturday back?

The best hotels do more than provide a beautiful room and a comfortable bed. They influence the way you experience a destination. My recent journey through the Tirol was a perfect example.

Over three nights, I stayed at three very different properties: Wellness Residence Alpenrose, Hotel Post Lermoos and Alpen Resort Schwarz. Each hotel offered its own interpretation of Alpine hospitality, yet what connected them was a shared understanding that wellness is not simply an amenity. It is a way of life.

If ever there was a manufacturer that covers all the bases, it’s BMW. 

If you want to ride around the world, through the most inhospitable territory imaginable, they have you back with the GS Adventure. If you want one of the fastest bikes on the planet, they have you covered with the M1000RR. Want a continent-crushing, luxurious tourer or heritage-styled factory custom? BMW Motorrad have it all and more. 

Arrival: The Audi A5 S Line and the Finest Fifty Yards in Black Tie

For over a century, every single motorcycle bearing the iconic spread-wing eagle logo, known as The Eagle Of Mandello, has been built in the same spot: Mandello del Lario, a postcard-perfect town nestled on the dramatic eastern shores of Lake Como in northern Italy. The factory has been looking out over the shores of Lake Como since 1921.

There are sensible ways to test a compact family SUV. You could take it to the supermarket, fill the boot with shopping and fill the back with kids. Or you could point it north from Hampshire, drive to Aberdeen, divert through the Cairngorms and see whether it still feels like a good idea several hundred miles later.

The latter seemed more like me.

The Tour: Le Touquet, a chateau in Fontainebleau, Chateau de Chambord, Chaumont-sur-Loire

The queue for LeShuttle's Flexiplus lounge told its own story. McLarens, Ferraris, Lamborghinis — you name them, they were there, idling politely in line like schoolboys waiting for the tuck shop to open, their owners doing that studied nonchalance that only a man leaning against half a million pounds of carbon fibre can attempt.
