Golf in Scotland - Advice Requested

First topic message reminder :



I am planning a trip to Scotland next Spring - fluid at this point, exact dates TBD. Knowing that this board is full of some very well informed people, I am seeking advice on courses and areas to consider. A friend of mine is a member at Royal Dornoch, so I may gravitate towards that area, depending upon other courses to seek out in and around there. If it matters, this will be a small group - only 4 of us (two from America, one from England and one from Ireland, so we'll be able to share driving duties pretty easily). Any and all thoughts appreciated!

It is bloomin raining in the West today, and yesterday, and the day before.
The day before that was nice though.

All those horrible midges up in Scotland as well, very annoying. Though think they are mainly west as well, which begs the question, why does anyone live in the west of Scotland ?

......and then you've got the horrible little flies that bite you too Diggers.

why does anyone live in a city. i've hardly allowed myself to breath since moving to edinburgh when out and about. whenever i go home to my rural roots it's a holiday for my lungs.

And Edinburgh is tiny really, about the same size as Leicester, though a fair bit prettier.

... because they only bite the english!

The Scots and Irish should get together Gael. Lots of chips on the Scottish shoulder re. the English which is exactly what the Irish crave.
