The Highlands Experience
For many people, the North of Scotland epitomises their image of the country as a whole. Mountains, heather, castles, and whisky are just some of the ingredients that contribute to the charm of the Highlands. The championship courses at Dornoch and Nairn are the magnets that draw many golfers north. However, there are many other courses in the areas well deserving of play, from the pleasing links at Golspie to the short but demanding inland course at Boat of Garten, considered a supreme test of accurate golf. The Highlands offer a brilliant choice for golfers - with 44 courses and more than 600 holes, including Nairn, regular venue for national championship play.
On the other hand records of the Aberdeen links date back to 1589, and Royal Aberdeen itself is the sixth oldest club in the world. Further north, the links at Cruden Bay, carved out of massive dunes bordering the North Sea, boast one classic hole after another. And this is not it…….
A heavenly combination of whisky and water awaits you in whisky country, encapsulating the true spirit of Scotland. A unique trail of world famous malts, distinctive distilleries and a unique cooperage weaves among the woods and glens of the Spey Valley. This is called the ‘Malt Whisky Trail’. The best way to experience the trail is by driving through the picturesque country in the Highlands.
