About the Region
The Scottish Highland area is known for its legendary hospitality and true links golf courses. Spend a week on the eastern coast of Scotland, playing four legendary courses of classic links design. Three of the four courses are over 100 years old, so you can rest assured you will be walking in the footsteps of legends. It is the honest links golf courses in the North of Scotland which give breadth and substantiation to Scottish links golf, and Scottish hospitality is the only thing to outshine the quality of golf.
A uniquely Scottish array of non-golfing activities are on offer during your week-long golf holiday. This package can be fully customised to suit your vacation needs. Non-golfing experiences include a tour and tasting of Glenmorangie Whisky Distillery, est. 1843; a cruise along the legendary Loch Ness, and a tour of Dunrobin Castle (dating back to the 14th century). You can select further non-golfing experiences to make the golf holiday uniquely yours.

Non-Golf Experiences
Loch Ness is one of the most enchanting destinations in the United Kingdom, and there is no better way to experience the iconic loch than to cruise amongst it. You can not get an appropriate measurement of its size without embarking a vessel and searching for the mysterious monster directly above it. At 23 miles long and almost 800 feet deep, a cruise on the dark waters will never have the same route.
Dunrobin Castle
Lying in a forest of seclusion, Dunrobin Castle dates back to the early 1300s. If you are driving back from Brora Golf Club, you can just make Scottout the tall spires from the highway before you draw level to the entry. The Castle is the most northerly of Scotland’s great houses and the largest in the Northern Highlands with 189 rooms. The Castle is also one of Britain’s oldest continuously inhabited houses by the Earls, and later, the Dukes of Sutherland. A tour of The Castle will leave you in awe, and it is a convenient stop between the highland golf courses.
Tour & Tasting at Glenmorangie Distillery
Glenmorangie is one of the most famous Scottish Whisky distilleries in the world, so we are proud to include a tasting of its fine whisky’s, along with a tour of the original distillery complex. It is a single malt distillery situated on a hillside glen along the banks of the Dornoch Firth. Glenmorangie means ‘valley of tranquillity’ in Scots Gaelic, and it is evident in the old stone buildings and aged barrels that the tranquillity has lasted. Since 1843, the Men of Tain have crafted the finest single malt whisky to show the world; experience each step of the process and understand why the award-winning whisky is so wonderfully complex and so enticingly smooth.
