This private luxury golf tour of Scotland features tee times at some of the most renowned golf courses in Scotland—including the historic courses of St. Andrews Links—as well as private cultural touring, visits to top whisky distilleries, and accommodation at the best luxury hotels and resorts in each location.

Begin in Edinburgh, the stunning capital of Scotland, with a stay in a sophisticated city hotel. During flexible touring with your private guide, tour the Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. See iconic Edinburgh Castle and walk along the Royal Mile, the road leading from the castle to the Palace of Holyroodhouse. Explore historic buildings, as well as the narrow closes (alleys) and stairways that connect different levels of the city. Visit shops specializing in wool tweed and other distinctive Scottish products. Depending on your interests, you might like to tour the Royal Yacht Britannia, the former royal yacht of the British monarch; visit the Royal Botanic Garden or National Gallery; tour the unusual architecture of the Scottish Parliament Building and other contemporary design highlights in the city; or hike up an extinct volcano for panoramic views of Edinburgh and the nearby Firth of Forth tidal bay. For travelers visiting in August, Artisans of Leisure can arrange tickets to the Edinburgh Tattoo or performances at the Edinburgh International Festival and Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

One morning, play a round of golf on a famous links course in East Lothian on the coast of the Firth of Forth. Options include historic and scenic courses such as Muirfield, North Berwick Golf Club and Gullane No. 1.

Continue to St. Andrews, the birthplace of golf and a charming university town on the northeast coast of Fife. Artisans of Leisure will arrange tee times at St. Andrews Links, a legendary complex of courses that includes the iconic Old Course, the New Course, the Jubilee Course, the Castle Course and the Eden Course. We can also arrange golf at other renowned courses near St. Andrews, such as Carnoustie, Kingsbarns and Dumbarnie. During private touring, learn more about the history of the game at the R&A World Golf Museum and take a private walking tour of the Old Course. Visit the University of St. Andrews, Scotland’s oldest university, and walk among the atmospheric ruins of St. Andrews Cathedral and St. Andrews Castle. 

Next, you will be transferred to Perthshire with touring en route. Visit Stirling, a strategic town on the edge of the Highlands that played an important role in the battles for Scottish independence, and tour Stirling Castle, which perches on a rocky outcrop and has panoramic views of the surrounding landscapes. Also visit a distillery to learn the process of creating world-renowned Scotch whisky. Continue to Gleneagles, a luxury golf resort and spa on 850 acres in the rolling hills of the idyllic Perthshire countryside. Enjoy tee times at one or more of the resort’s three golf courses. Also experience extensive activities at Gleneagles—including options such as countryside walks, fishing, horseback riding, biking, 4WD tours, shooting, gundog training and falconry—or spend time in the spa or browsing boutiques specializing in exclusive Scottish products.
