I guess I said there would be Scotland pics. Here’s a quick report. We flew into Edinburgh, got in the Rental car, and drive north. Past Pitlochry (where I tried haggis - not tasty) and past Inverness. First tourist stop was the Dalwhinnie Distillery for a tour & tasting. The tour was good. Watched a very good Netflix documentary on Scotch before going so it was fun to see all the stuff in person. Scotch was really tasty.
After that, we got to our hotel at Royal Dornach Golf Course. Really awesome Hotel. 2 minute walk to the beach or downtown area, right on the course.
We didn’t play the Royal Dornach Course yet, though. We first drove even further north to the Brora Golf Course.
One thing about Scotland: all the courses are public land, so you would regularly see random townspeople out walking their dogs, walking to the beach, etc. They’d stop and watch a few shots, talk about golf, then keep strolling. The Brora Course, however, still functioned as grazing land. So there were random cows & sheep on the course. It was a wild experience.
Also, all the courses we played were beautiful. And all were on the water (either on a Firth, which is what Scots call a fjord) or on the North Sea.
The next morning, we drove down to Loch Ness (even though it was kind of a long drive) for more tourist stuff. We went to an old castle (Urquhart)
Then returned to play the Dornach Course (which might have been my favorite course on the trip).
After that, we went out in town for some scotch at a local distillery/bar in an old castle in town, then went to a local’s bar.
If you like peeing in a trough like at mad River Glen, Scotland is for you.
