Alan Cumming, the talented and charismatic host of the US version of the popular BBC show Traitors, has recently been awarded an Emmy for his outstanding work. Originally from Perthshire, Scotland, Alan has always been fascinated by his country's rich history, ghostly tales, and isolated castles. However, one castle in particular caught his attention for its peculiar nature.
Ardross Castle, where the US version of Traitors is filmed, may not be creepy or haunted, but it certainly has a strange atmosphere. As Alan explains, the castle is usually bustling with people during filming, which may mask any potential eerie feelings. However, he acknowledges that being alone in the castle at night could change his perception.
Despite its strangeness, Alan actually enjoys the 19th century castle and its derelict rooms. He points out that the set they create for the show adds to the weirdness of the place. And as a fun fact, Alan reveals that the castle was once owned by the creators of Lea and Perrins sauce.
When asked if he believes in the supernatural, Alan admits that he is more inclined to believe in energy rather than ghosts. He describes how he can sense the energy of a place, and that his own house in Scotland, which was built in the 1700s, has a lot of history and energy in it.
Although he lives between New York and Scotland, Alan's latest work has taken him to the skies above the iconic West Highland Way as he narrates Uber's new seaplane experience. It is a strange experience for Alan to hear his own voice guiding him through his home country, but he is excited to try it out.
One of Alan's most famous adventures in Scotland was with the legendary Miriam Margolyes. The travel TV show, Alan and Miriam: Lost in Scotland and Beyond, was both emotional and hilarious as the two explored the country together. Alan speaks highly of Miriam, saying that she is exactly as she appears on screen - funny, naughty, kind, and sweet.
There is even talk of a UK version of Traitors with celebrity contestants, and when asked who he would like to see on the show, Alan suggests Miriam. However, he realizes that she may not be possible as a contestant, joking that the other celebrities he thought of are all dead.
As Alan approaches 60, he still maintains a youthful energy and curiosity about life. He credits his healthy lifestyle of exercise, yoga, swimming, and a vegan diet for keeping him feeling young. But he believes that it is his constant curiosity that truly keeps him feeling youthful.
If he could go back and give advice to his younger self, Alan would tell him not to be afraid to show his imperfections. He believes that it is these imperfections that make a person interesting and unique, and that one should never try to be someone they are not.
Lastly, Alan shares that he is currently narrating the Uber Seaplane experience, where customers can fly over the Scottish Highlands in a private plane. He encourages everyone to book a flight and experience the beauty of Scotland from above.
