Scotland has so many fine courses that it is difficult to pick out the best, but few would quarrel with The Old Course in St Andrews being awarded the accolade of most famous. Its status is immeasurably enhanced by the sheer sense of atmosphere it exudes.

Other courses include Carnoustie and Gleneagles, both world class and within easy reach of St Andrews. The Edinburgh area also boasts a rich selection - Gullane, North Berwick and Dunbar complementing the championship venue of Muirfield.
