Craigtay Hotel is only ‘across the water’ from world famous St Andrews golf – immortalized golf at the ‘home of golf’.

St. Andrews is a matchless blend of past and present. As a town it has no equal in Scotland. Its ecclesiastical connections began at least as early as 747; the burgh came into being about 1144; the University, the first in Scotland, began in 1411. Golf was a recognized game there in 1552.

For more than a hundred years St. Andrews has been famed as a holiday resort, not only on account of its golf, but also for its history, scenery and its equable and invigorating climate. It is almost unnecessary to say that the Royal & Ancient Golf Club is the premier golf club in the world. All the courses are an immense attraction to vacationers, and it is the ambition of every golfer to play on the world famous "Old Course". For the very best golf breaks and vacations in Scotland, look no further.

Many of Scotland's courses are steeped in history and tradition, such as the championship courses of St Andrews and Carnoustie. But an increasing number of newer courses no offer the same standard of play and variety of landscape. There is something for everyone, each course with its own character, often with stunning views of the coastline.
