Meet our Kabn Ambassadors

William is a total ninja with fire. He has travelled the world mastering the art of cooking over fire. William has recently completed a stage at the award winning Hiša Franko, Two Michelin Starred Restaurant in Slovenia (also featured in Chef's Table). 

"Cooking with fire allows you an insight into the dialogue of the wilderness and a glimpse into our primal history. Outside, cooking is reinvigorated, reimagined and returned to its most natural state, where ingredients are married to the burning embers, completing a process that traces back thousands of years."

William heads up our Wild Kabn Kitchen Supper Club on the Estate and hosts magical private dining events for Kabn guests.

"The Kabns are simply incredible, the perfect setting for my style of cooking. Furthermore, Kabn Company's environmental approach completely aligns with the type of sustainable food I cook."

Blair has spent over a decade establishing himself in the global whisky industry, sniffing out the rarest casks, hosting unique events and building an exceptional global network within whisky, sales, distribution and hospitality sectors.

Blair has helped Kabn Company in sourcing a wonderful organic and sustainable Whisky.

Blair was one of our first guests and is already a Kabn Junkie having stayed with us on 4 separate occasions!

Kabn guests are able to book virtual whisky tastings with Blair offering a fun, unique and interactive experience to learn more about this wonderful beverage. Please contact Kabn Company Concierge for more information.

Lindsey and Gerard are experts in foraging. They set up Wee Folk of the Woods together and teach foraging classes as well as supplying foraged foods to some of the best restaurants in Scotland. Lindsey and Gerard have an immense knowledge and passion for their field and are truly inspiring.

“In our culture, the majority of the population have lost the skill of foraging that our species used to depend on for survival. We love passing on our knowledge about the plants and fungi all around us that are edible or useful in some way and showing people that food doesn’t need to come from a supermarket” 

Kabn Company guests can book private foraging walks with Lindsey and Gerard. You will learn a vast amount and sample a variety of wild foods over a 2 - 3 hour experience. This needs to be booked well in advance so please do get in contact with the Kabn Company Concierge at the time of booking if interested.

Penelope heads up the garden team and has recently started a regenerative agriculture project using the Estate's polytunnels. Using organic regenerative agriculture to grow delicious produce for Wild Kabn Kitchen we aim to highlight the importance of growing seasonal produce locally and creating high quality ingredients.

"Utilising nature's processes to build ecological connectivity that will in turn produce nutrient rich, delicious food. The focus will be on herbs, edible flowers, vegetables and perennial fruit to start with, but I want this to be a constantly evolving project and experiment with different exciting varieties that aren’t grown on large scale farms".

Roseanna is a professional ballerina with a passion for all things health & wellness. Aside from her career as a principal dancer, she is also a qualified personal trainer and certified yoga teacher. 

Roseanna would like to help and inspire Kabn guests on their own personal wellness journey, whether that be through guided meditation or yoga classes, or more personal 1:1 yoga or personal training sessions tailored to their individual needs. Together, we can strive to improve both physical and mental well-being.

Roseanna’s motto is ‘Balance, Patience & Consistency’.

Kabn Company guests can book interactive virtual classes with Roseanna whilst staying at the Kabns.

We are also launching an exciting Wellness event in Autumn 2023.

We are always interested in hearing from experts in their respective fields who would like to become a Kabn Ambassador. If you are interested in becoming and Ambassador and have previously stayed at our Kabns please do get in touch.
