The Heartlands of Scotland is referred to as the region that comprises the Kingdom of Fife, Perthshire, Angus and Dundee. The Fife area sits like a shoe to the rest of the heartlands and features distinctive rock formations and a brilliant coastline with unending beaches, which King James VI once referred to as a “fringe of gold”. St. Andrews, considered the home of golf is part of Fife.
He may as well have said a “fringe of golf”, given the abundance of the most historic and iconic golf courses that the world has known. This quality of golf in St.Andrews & the Heartlands is what makes it a dream trip for golfers worldwide. St. Andrews boasts of nine outstanding golf courses including the Old Course where the Open Championship is played every 5 years. Being the home of golf, doesn’t mean that the golf ends there – there are some fantastic links on all sides – Carnoustie is yet another venue for the Open, Kingsbarns is one of the most stunning modern day links, Crail is the seventh oldest golf club in the world. Going inland away from links land, there is plenty to savour as well – The Gleneagles (Venue of the Ryder Cup 2014) is a reminder in Scotland that there are great golf courses, which are not links.
