This evening Welcome Cocktails & Dinner.

OVERNIGHT: Lochgreen House – House Deluxe Room

GOLF: Today play the Ailsa Course of Turnberry. The course has undergone a redevelopment and reopened with a stunning new layout in June 2016. Lying on a spectacular curve of rockbound coast in the southern reaches of Ayrshire. The course now makes the most of the coastal scenery especially from the 4th through the 11th passing the famous landmark lighthouse at the turn, which is now a stunning halfway house. This is a demanding links course, and an ever-present wind will make for a tough examination of your golfing skills. In 2009 the Ailsa Course hosted the Open Championship for the 4th time when golfing legend Tom Watson lost out to Stewart Cink in a playoff for the Claret Jug.

SIGHTSEEING: Non-Golfers will enjoy a visit to Culzean Castle & Country Park. Converted by Robert Adam to include a ‘Roman’ viaduct and Ruined Arch to add drama to this Italianate castle in its spectacular cliff top setting. It contains a fine collection of paintings and furniture, and a display of weapons in the Armoury. The Circular Saloon has a superb panoramic view over the Firth of Clyde and the beautiful Oval Staircase is Robert Adam’s final masterpiece of interior design. In 1945 the top floor was given to General Eisenhower as a token of Scotland’s recognition of his role during World War II.

Later today Golfers and Non-Golfers alike have the opportunity to visit the A D Rattray Whisky Experience in the nearby village of Kirkoswald. They are independent bottlers and stock limited edition cask whiskies not found in regular stores. We will enjoy a private tasting illustrating how whisky is made and how over time each cask matures and develops its individual charm and unique personality. Whether you are a novice or a connoisseur, you will find your visit both interesting and engaging.

OVERNIGHT: Lochgreen House – House Deluxe Room

GOLF: Today play Royal Troon. Nine time venue of the British Open, the course most recently hosted the championship in 2016. It is consistently praised for its testing but fair set up. A long and demanding links, Troon unusually boasts both the longest and the shortest holes in Open Championship golf, being the Postage Stamp 8th at 126 yards, and the 6th at 577 yards 6th named Turnberry.

SIGHTSEEING: Non-Golfers enjoy a morning visit to Dumfries House, one of Britain’s most beautiful stately homes and best kept heritage secrets. Saved by the intervention of HRH the Prince of Wales in 2007, Dumfries House combines the architecture of Robert Adam with the furniture of Thomas Chippendale and leading 18th century Scottish cabinet makers.

Following golf and sightseeing we make the 2 hour drive to Edinburgh, beautiful capital city of Scotland.

OVERNIGHT: Waldorf Astoria Edinburgh – Premium Castle View Room

GOLF: Today play North Berwick, one of Scotland's oldest golf clubs and correspondingly a very traditional links layout. The course requires unusual shotmaking, along with blind shots and play over stone walls. It features the par three, 15th 'Redan' which is recognized as the most frequently copied short hole in the world of golf. North Berwick is a wonderful and traditional links golf experience that can be enjoyed by all standard of player with excellent views over the Firth of Forth to the Bass Rock and over to Fife.

SIGHTSEEING: Non-Golfers enjoy a tour of Edinburgh, famous for its Parliament, Edinburgh Castle, Holyrood Palace, history, architecture, festivals, and city walking. The city is divided between the Old Town and the New Town. The Old Town is where you will find the greatest gathering of historical buildings whilst the New Town is more a celebration of business, order and classical Georgian architecture. This is the terrain of the shops, offices and banks as well as many bars and cafes.

This evening enjoy dinner with your group in a local restaurant (included).

OVERNIGHT: Waldorf Astoria Edinburgh – Premium Castle View Room

Enjoy a leisurely day as we drive northwards into the Scottish Highlands. Our route takes us via Glencoe and Loch Ness; a place of outstanding natural beauty, but the worldwide fame of Loch Ness owes more to the legend of its famous occupant, the Loch Ness Monster - or 'Nessie' - than the breath-taking location of the loch itself. The loch cuts a great divide along what is called Glen Mor, or The Great Glen. It is over 700 feet deep, and the nearby surrounding hills rise by about the same amount. We drive past Castle Urquhart once one of Scotland's biggest castles but now ruin, albeit impressive, consisting of the wall, four turrets and the keep. The position of the castle on Strone Point is dramatic and commands a wide view of Loch Ness.

Lunch enroute (included).

OVERNIGHT: Kingsmills Hotel – Kings Club Room

GOLF: Today you have the opportunity to play the most northerly of the Championship courses of the British Isles. Royal Dornoch is perhaps more than most a thinking golfers' course where it is not enough simply to keep the ball on the fairway. The greens are generally open in the front, but they are also set on plateaux several feet above the fairway; a feature that Donald Ross took from his home course and used on many of his classic designs around the world.

SIGHTSEEING: Non-Golfers enjoy a visit to Dunrobin Castle; the most northerly of Scotland's great houses and certainly one of the most majestic. Dunrobin is the largest house in the Northern Highlands with 189 rooms, and is one of Britain's oldest continuously inhabited houses, dating in part from the early 1300’s. We then travel to Dornoch and after a light lunch have time to explore this delightful small town. Dornoch offers visitors a wide range of shops and its fine buildings include the 13th century cathedral, a courthouse and old town jail.

This evening enjoy dinner with your group in a local restaurant (included).

OVERNIGHT: Kingsmills Hotel – Kings Club Room

GOLF: Castle Stuart opened in 2009 with instant honors from Golf Magazine as the "Best New International Course" of the year. Castle Stuart is the work of Americans Mark Parsinen (Kingsbarns) and Gil Hanse. It is a meticulously maintained modern links found along Moray Firth thirty minutes from energetic Inverness and a stone's throw from the airport. Six holes hug the shoreline while the others are played overhead on an escarpment that divides the entire golf course. As such you are always looking at the sea plus it provided Mr. Parsinen with opportunities to create his "infinity" views which produce striking photographs and shaky golf swings.

SIGHTSEEING: Non-Golfers will have the opportunity to go Dolphin watching at Chanonry Point (subject to suitable tide times). This narrow peninsula is an ideal location and with lots of fellow dolphin watchers you are unlikely to miss any sightings. Dolphins can be seen at any time and you’ll often be exceptionally close as they feed in the channel. Suitable clothing and footwear are required to walk on the shingle beach. We continue around the peninsula known as the Black Isle to Cromarty an 18th century fishing port which got somewhat left behind by the Industrial Revolution. It is the best preserved 18th century village in the Highlands. As such it has many old buildings, including Hugh Miller's thatched cottage built in 1711 and is now in the care of the National Trust for Scotland.

OVERNIGHT: Kingsmills Hotel – Kings Club Room

Today enjoy a leisurely day as we drive south through the central Scottish Highlands to St. Andrews, the Home of Golf. We will stop enroute for lunch in Pitlochry (included).

Mid afternoon arrival into St Andrews.

OVERNIGHT: Fairmont Hotel, St. Andrews – Deluxe Room

GOLF: Today you will experience the fabled Old Course of St. Andrews (Old Course play guaranteed but exact day of play to be confirmed). The "Home of Golf" has played host to the greatest golfers in the world and produced many of golf's dramatic moments. Wide double fairways, seven extensive double greens, and a multitude of intimidating bunkers are just some of the unique features you will encounter.

SIGHTSEEING: Non-Golfers will today enjoy a fascinating walking tour of St. Andrews visiting St. Andrews Castle, parts of St. Andrews University, and taking in the ruins of St. Andrews Cathedral, once one of the most important religious sites in Europe. Old Tom Morris and his son young Tom, are buried in the Cathedral Grounds. St. Andrews also offers a wide selection of shopping within a very convenient central area.

OVERNIGHT: Fairmont Hotel, St. Andrews – Deluxe Room

GOLF: When the Castle Course opened in 2008 it was the first new golf course built for the St. Andrews Links Trust in over 100 years and the first ever outside of town. Scots architect David McLay Kidd, creator of Bandon Dunes, transformed a farm along the coast 2 miles east of the city center into a "modern links" layout comparable to Kingsbarns and Castle Stuart. The setting is striking with wonderful views of St. Andrews and St. Andrews Bay plus a collection of seaside holes played along, around, and over rugged cliffs. A caddie is well worth your employ at the Castle Course if for no other reason than your tee shots - the line you want is seldom the one you see.

SIGHTSEEING: Non-Golfers will enjoy a visit to Glamis Castle, childhood home of Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother, and birthplace of Princess Margaret. The family home of the Earls of Strathmore and Kinghorne it has been a Royal residence since 1372 and is the legendary setting of Shakespeare's play Macbeth
