Goff, gowf, golf, goif, and gof were just some of the names used for
the sport over the centuries before golf came to the fore, but what has
never been is dispute is that Scotland is where it all started. And Scotland’s
east coast - Aberdeenshire, the Kingdom of Fife, East Lothian - and in the
southwest around Prestwick, lay claim as the official birthplace of golf.
Clubhouses throughout Scotland contain enough fascinating golf memorabilia
to stock a national museum, commemorating local legends such as Old Tom
Morris and James Braid, champion golfers turned course architects, instrumental
in spreading the game that today enchants players the world over.

Glamis Castle 7 Gardens
Ancestral home of the Earls of Strathmore for over 600 years, Glamis
is witness to over 600 years of rich history. It remains a vibrant monument
to Scottish hospitality; a place of for the whole family to enjoy the many
stories, intrigues and secrets that the castle guides delight in sharing
on the tours of the castle and its gardens, plenty to reflect on and plenty
to amuse.
Blair Castle
Dating back to the 13th century, Blair Castle lies at the highly-strategic
gateway to the Grampian Mountains on the route north to Inverness. Today
its many visitors enjoy the wild beauty of the surrounding landscape, but
its 740-odd years of chequered history has been coloured by threat and danger.
One of the first private homes in Scotland to open its doors to the public
in Scotland, Blair Castle welcomes more visitors than any other to visit
the castle, its extensive collections and beautiful gardens.
Dunnottar Castle
Perched dramatically atop a cliff, this ruin was once an impregnable
fortress and evokes a dramatic history. There is plenty to explore, from
the keep through the barracks, lodgings, stables and storehouses to the
better-preserved chapel and drawing room.
Amongst its illustrious list of visitors are William Wallace, Mary Queen
of Scots, the Marquis of Montrose and the future King Charles II. But perhaps
Dunnottar Castle’s greatest claim to fame lies with its small garrison,
which repelled the might of Cromwell’s army for eight months, saving the Scottish Crown Jewels – the ‘Honours of
Scotland’ – from destruction. Those jewels are now on display in Edinburgh
Castle.
Scone Palace
“Perthshire plays host to some of Scotlands finest Castles, Palaces and Estates.“
Just outside Perth, Scone Palace was once the beautiful setting for the
coronations of Scotland’s kings, making it an important historic site. The
Stone of Scone, also referred to as the Stone of Destiny, is the centrepiece
and a national treasure. The palace is home to the Earls of Mansfield, now
a 5-star visitor attraction bringing in visitors from the world over.
