Golf in Scotland Provides History, Scenery And Challenge, Like No Other Golf Destination in the World.

Golfers the world over recognise Scotland as the Home of Golf. But many thousands of visitors each year discover that this ancient nation offers much more than just a golfer's paradise.

Scotland's mountain scenery can take the breath away; Scotland's Western Isles offer yachtsmen sailing of unparalleled quality and variety; Edinburgh is a vibrant capital city of strikingly beautiful architecture; and St Andrews, home to Scotland's oldest university, has charms and attractions that go well beyond its world famous golf courses.

Scotland's history is pervasive. Glamis Castle, the childhood home of the late Queen Mother and the setting for Shakespeare's Macbeth, is just one of many castles that evidence 1,000 years of Scotland's history.

In 1745, the last battle fought on British soil took place at Culloden Moor. The Scottish Borders are strewn with medieval battle sites between English and Scots, while Hadrian's Wall, just across the border, bears witness to almost 400 years of Roman influence.

Golfing enthusiasts return year after year to play not only the famous championship golf links, but to discover the hidden gems. We all know about the Old Course in St Andrews, justifiably a place of pilgrimage for golfers from every corner of the world. We know, too, about Carnoustie, Turnberry and Royal Troon. But have you discovered Scottish golf the likes of Machrie, Machrihanish, Brora or Cruden Bay?

No matter how many times you visit Scotland, you'll always find more than you expected. Let IGT help you plan your Scottish vacation.
