ACCOMMODATION IN SCOTLAND
THE HOME OF GOLF
Scotland is home to a selection of iconic hotels. Turnberry on the west coast, Gleneagles at the
gateway to the Highlands, and The Old Course Hotel looking over the most famous stretch of
terrain in golf. In addition to having preferred relationships with the finest five star hotels in
Scotland, we also offer our clients the chance to stay at beautifully restored medieval buildings
such as Castle Stuart near Inverness and The Witchery in Edinburgh. For those requiring privacy
and space to relax, there is even the opportunity to stay at exclusive private residences, one of
which is a mere ten yards from the 18th green at St Andrews.
