SIR ANDY MURRAY has been forced to relocate some of his art collection to his luxury hotel in Scotland.
The tennis icon and his wife, Kim, live in a lavish Surrey mansion with their four children.
However, they are running out of space due to his ever-growing art collection.
Murray, 38, is a huge art enthusiast and has accrued pieces from the likes of Damien Hirst and Maggie Hambling.
But his collection is now spilling over to his five-star Scottish hotel, Cromlix.
Speaking to Homes and Interiors Scotland recently, Kim said: “Andy is constantly buying large-scale artwork and we are running out of space at home.
“So we end up bringing a lot of it to Cromlix on a sort of rotational basis so that our guests can enjoy our personal collection as much as we do.
“Freeing up space at home is, of course, an added bonus for me.”
It is believed that Murray’s interest in art ignited when he sat for a portrait by Hambling six years ago.
Since retiring from tennis last year, Murray has taken up some new hobbies to fill his time.
The 38-year-old recently became particularly passionate about golf.
He is now set to play in the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship next month.
Murray will face Ryder Cup stars as well as former Open and Masters winners in Scotland.
The tournament – which has a total prize fund of £3.7million – sees amateurs partner with professionals to celebrate Links golf at its finest.
