SPOTLIGHT ON THE 133rd BRITISH
OPEN ABOARD THE ROYAL SCOTSMAN JULY 12 - 19, 2004
The 133rd
British Open returns to Scotland and one the world's
most cherished venues - Royal Troon. The Open there
in 1997 saw Justin Leonard give an emotional and heartfelt
victory speech as he clutched the treasured Claret
Jug, after making up five shots in a thrilling come
from behind victory. Last year's final stretch filled
with major champions and seasoned players, produced
a surprise but worthy young winner in Ben Curtis,
who will be back to defend his title and retain the
Claret Jug.
If you've ever dreamed of watching
the drama of golf's oldest championship unfold in
person, 2004 is the perfect opportunity as PerryGolf
is proud to announce the return of, one of our most
elegant and beloved programs, traveling via The Royal
Scotsman Train to some of Scotland's finest championship
courses combined with attendance at the British Open.
 Travel
aboard The Royal Scotsman, with its enhanced Edwardian
splendor, harkens back to the days when the method
of transportation was as much a part of the experience
as the destination itself. Hosting only 36 passengers,
an aura of a jovial private party prevails throughout
the journey.
Your adventure back in time to
an era when luxury, civility and gracious hospitality,
were synonymous with travel, begins in Edinburgh to
the haunting sounds of a piper welcoming you aboard
your sanctuary on rails for the next four nights.
 After
freshening up in your elegantly appointed cabin, join
the other guests for cocktails before sitting down
to a scrumptious gourmet dinner, complemented by fine
wines and champagnes at one of the two dining cars,
recognized as one of Britain’s best restaurants,
even though its location changes nightly!
The train stables every evening
and only travels during the day. This ensures you
not only will have pleasant dreams, but you won’t
miss any of the stunning Scottish scenery along the
way.
The best place to view that scenery
is from The Observation Car where you can relax in
the comfort of plush sofas or armchairs, or enjoy
the panoramic vistas from the exhilarating open verandah
platform. (Mere
words do not do justice to the magnificence of this
train, to take a virtual tour of The Royal Scotsman

With all the pampering you will
receive on the train, you may never want to get off,
but the Scottish golf and sightseeing experiences
planned for your journey will create lifetime memories
in their own right.
