Scotland on course for a big year
Scotland is ready to host the 40th Ryder Cup in September, in addition to welcoming the world in its Year of Homecoming.
More than 250,000 spectators are expected to travel to Gleneagles for the Ryder Cup golf showdown between Europe and the United States.
The Gleneagles Resort is home to three championship golf courses and a two Michelin-starred restaurant.
A stone’s throw from Gleneagles is the newly opened Bannockburn Visitors’ Centre, which will be celebrating the 700th anniversary of the battle and allowing visitors to experience this crucial historical event through 3D technology.
Also close by Wimbledon champion Andy Murray will open his 10-bedroom, five suite, luxury hotel on April1, in Dunblane. The Victorian era mansion is set in secluded woodlands with a private trout loch and will also feature a Chez Roux restaurant.
Scotland offers the greatest diversity of golf anywhere in the world, from championship links venues, to wild and rugged island courses.
Archerfield Links Golf Club boasts its own microbrewery set within a walled garden in East Lothian, while the Isle of Eriska offers an almost deserted nine-hole course overlooking the stunning Isle of Mull, and is accessed by crossing an ornate Victorian bridge from the mainland.
