ROBBIE Williams kissed a shocked fan on the lips as he performed the first night of his European tour in Edinburgh’s Murrayfield stadium. 
The former Take That star was performing She’s The One to a crowd of 70,000 people at the capital’s stadium when he couldn’t resist the cheeky move on the girl named ‘Debbie’. 
The Angels star who performed hits including Rock DJ and Let Me Entertain You through the drizzle in the stadium was also joined by Pop Idol winner Michelle McManus for a rendition of his old band hit Relight My Fire.
During She's The One, Robbie, 51, went to the front row of his audience and held overwhelmed fan Debbie close to him as he sang the lyrics to She's The One, then as he neared the end he kissed her on the lips as the stadium roared.  
Debbie couldn’t believe it and held her face in her hands and over her mouth as she sobbed while Robbie, in his pink vest top, leapt back on stage and changed his lyrics to  ‘I was her, she was me, I think you just did a little wee.” 
The singer also sang Sunshine on Leith by The Proclaimers and commented: “I think that’s a better song than You’ll Never Walk Alone.”
The star stayed at the five star Gleneagles hotel, a favourite of Prince William and Kate Middleton, during his Scots visit and Ayda enjoyed sampling expensive whisky’s that cost in excess of £1200 a bottle while Robbie had non alcoholic wines as they prepared for his gig. 
The couple also took a tour of Edinburgh castle ahead of his Scottish gig. 

THE DUCHESS OF ARGYLL INVITES YOU TO PARTY AT INVERARAY CASTLE

IT’S not every day you get invited to enjoy music and food at the castle by the Duchess but then The Best of the West Festival isn’t like every other event. 

The Duchess of Argyll’s annual bash at Inveraray Castle is a real family friendly end of season showcase and will once again take over the picturesque grounds of Inveraray Castle from the September 7th-9th, 2018.

The event is arguably Scotland's finest boutique festival, where music and food lovers from across the globe gather to celebrate the very best in Scottish music, art, food and drink.

Inveraray Castle, the jewel in the West Highland’s crown, provides a unique and truly stunning backdrop to the weekend festival, which is mud free and fully under cover.
The imposing, turreted castle, sits on the shores of Loch Fyne surrounded by the breath-taking scenery of the west coast.

Now in its eighth year this stylish festival boasts an impressive list of headline musical acts.

On Friday night the event features Seven Nations, a Celtic rock band from New York City and the ever-popular four piece Scottish band Tide Lines.

Saturday brings two outstanding local bands Heron Valley, an energetic young band who grow in stature year on year and the crowd-pleasing Dr Hip and the Blues Operation, a Cowal band whose energy is infectious. Saturday’s music programme will be closed by a very special guest artist, who will be announced at a later date.

The event reaches its musical crescendo on Sunday afternoon with the Edinburgh roots/indie band Bwani Junction presenting an affectionate tribute to the seminal Paul Simon album ‘Graceland’ - which they will play in full. 

Then Skipinnish, Scots Trad Live Act of the Year, return for 2018 to end the party with a bang.

Other main stage acts, and performers for the Loch Fyne Whiskies Stage, will be announced soon.

The popular Festival Kitchen will see some of the finest west coast chefs, including Scotland’s Chef Gary MacLean, demonstrate their skills using the finest local ingredients. The food marquee will be full of much loved familiar names from the Food from Argyll group and invited friends to ensure the food offering really is the ‘best of the west’.

The Duchess of Argyll, Eleanor Argyll, BOWFest chairperson, said: “This year’s Best of the West Festival already looks exciting! As well as a fantastic line up of musicians, we have celebrity chefs, the best in Scotland’s food and drink and a whole host of children’s entertainments – something to keep all the family busy!”

TOM DALEY GAVE SCOTS COMMUTERS AN EYEFUL OF HIS TRUNKS

TOM Daley confessed he let commuters get more than an eyeful of his trunks on a trip to Glasgow.
The Olympic diver was in Glasgow and Edinburgh at the weekend to do a book signing when he accidentally flashed his trunks to everyone one the train.
Luckily he didn't have them on at the time.


He revealed: "The train journey was pretty beautiful although my trunks were hanging down from the baggage rail over the seat the whole time and I had no idea."
During his trip Tom had fried breakfast complete with haggis at the Elephant House Cafe where JK Rowling wrote Harry Potter. He admitted it was a bit weird seeing all the Harry Potter graffiti in the toilets.


He also had to buy a pair of earmuffs after getting overly chilled during a trip up to the Castle.
He revealed: "My ears got so cold that I had to get these ear muffs. Cool eh?"



He also squeezed in a trip to Edinburgh's Commonwealth Pool to train for some synchronised diving.
He said: "I had a really funny couple of days in Scotland."

PAOLO NUTINI BRINGING IN BELLS FOR HOGMANAY IN SCOTLAND

PAOLO Nutini will bring in the bells at Edinburgh's Hogmanay for his only festival performance this year.
The Paisley born multi platinum performer is celebrating the ten year anniversary of is album These Streets and can't wait to get the party started at the flagship Concert in The Gardens. He said: "When they offered us the gig, I was made up, as it was 10 years ago that we had shown up at the castle, lined up to play alongside the Pet Shop Boys and unfortunately it was a washout ... forcing the powers that be to cancel. We went back as a three piece in ‘08 to play a small set before legging it to Glasgow for George Square but this now gives us a chance to make up for lost gigs. We had no plans for any shows this year after Wales but this was the only one that over the years I hoped that we would get another shot at. Edinburgh is electric at that time of year and I'm glad we get a chance to be a part of it. Let's dance ladies and gentleman."
Paolo will join The Charlatans who play The Waverley Stage at the fest alongside another as yet unannounced special guest.
Tim Burgess said: "Nowhere in the world sees in the New Year like Scotland. I've been to Edinburgh before for Hogmanay and it's always brilliant. Looking forward to another big night.”
The Castle Stage at the fest features performances from leading Scottish Celtic crossover bands Salsa Celtica , Manran and Ross Ainslie, Ali Hutton & Friends while The Frederick Stage (Party) provides the soundtrack to the whole Street Party with a heart-thumping, show stopping, disco dancing set featuring DJ’s, dancers and performers from Guilty Pleasures.
VJ’s Buttercup and Pixels mix cutting-edge visuals to accompany the dance tunes which are relayed on seven screens along the length of Princes Street and throughout the Street Party arena.
