After so many years in perhaps the most public role of all, former US president Bill Clinton is considering taking three months out to write his memoirs. And the venue of choice for his “retreat” is Scotland’s historic Skibo Castle, where Madonna was married and where the ex-Prez has just spent a couple of days.
“He has a busy schedule at the moment but it is something he plans to do as soon as possible,” says the castle’s owner, billionaire businessman Peter de Savary.
During his stay the former US leader – who slept in the suite used by Andrew Carnegie, the steel magnate who bought the castle in 1898 – played the hotel’s two golf courses and was also apparently much taken with Scottish cuisine.
If he finds the time to embark upon the memoirs project within the next couple of years, Clinton will not be too far away from daughter Chelsea, who has just been offered a place on a two-year MPhil course at University College, Oxford – where her father spent two years as a Rhodes scholar in the Sixties.
