A short film to celebrate the beginning of the new partnership between The Dalmore and V&A Dundee. The film explores creative inspiration and the development of potential over time, coinciding with seminal career moments for Architect Kengo Kuma and Master Distiller Richard Paterson.

In this episode of “Meet the Makers”, we speak to textile designer Araminta Birse-Stewart who crafted the tweeds and tartans for the Grand Suites onboard the Royal Scotsman. The ever-changing highland landscape is the foundation of any creation and in her atelier the designer shares stories of the auburn mountains, snowy white peaks, and flowing rivers from which she draws inspiration. Preserving the beauty of Scottish heritage, Araminta creates a world where the superb outdoors and refined interiors are constantly in dialogue with each other.  Discover more about Royal Scotsman: https://www.belmond.com/trains/europe/scotland/belmond-royal-scotsman/ #TheArtOfBelmond #RoyalScotsman #Scotland
