Business facilities: There is a huge selection of meeting
rooms and conference theatres and private function rooms which
can cater for 8-360 guests. Gleneagles has a specialised team
of technicians who can advise on using the latest technology,
including AMX touch-screen control systems, plasma screens and
LCD projectors for a conference set-up. Positioning itself as
a leading conference hotel, £9 million was recently invested
in a new development, that adds an extra 59 bedrooms and four
meeting rooms to the hotel.

modern country pursuits with qualified professional instructors

at Gleneagles is the G8 Summit from 6 - 8 July 2005.
The venue was hand picked by the Prime Minister, Tony Blair, as
his venue of choice to host the leaders of the world's most powerful
countries. The event was a huge success and the feedback from
all the leaders, the media and security services was amazingly
positive.
