Speaking at the scene of the incident, she said: “I was extremely concerned to hear the news of a robbery at Gleneagles Hotel.
“This must have been a very worrying experience for staff and guests and I am relieved to learn that no one has been harmed in the incident.
“The hunt for the robbers is ongoing and I would urge anyone with any information which might be of assistance to the police to get in touch with them immediately.”
Criminal gangs have targeted the retailer before, with the Old Course Hotel shop in St Andrews having previously been targeted and foiled by police.
The Gleneagles Hotel has confirmed none of their staff were hurt during the robbery.
