fort and offers eight spacious bedrooms of individual character (each with en-suite bathroom and king sized bed), a drawing room, a study, a
billiard room and two large reception rooms. Satellite TV and WI-FI broadband are also provided and a lift is available to the first floor accom-
modation. Guests are looked after by the resident gourmet chef who serves the very best of locally sourced cuisine: Aberdeen Angus Beef, Mo-

shine hours then any other part of the British Isles. Match that with
a championship links and you have the ideal locality for a golfing
vacation.
Royal Dornoch :- Though not in Moray, heads the list of courses
on the roster, and is viewed by many as the mystical course hid-
den in the Scottish Highlands. Largely the inspiration of Old Tom
Morris in 1866, this great par 70 links wrapped around the curving
bay of the Dornoch Firth, will demand your full attention.

Kessock Bridge and Chanonry Light across the Moray Firth that

host to two Scottish Opens, Castle Stuart has become a favorite of
international golfers looking for championship seaside golf.
Moray Golf Club:- Besides but not too far behind the very best
highland golf, is Moray Golf club, often known as Lossiemouth, a
fabulous links whose closing holes seem to march into the town
center, and often to the tune of a Scottish piper playing nearby.
Elgin Golf Club:- A change of scenery to a testing heathland
course, as fast as any links, offers the alternative view of the local
countryside and claims to the finest inland course of all the high-
lands.
Forres Golf Club:- Open winners of the early days, Willie Park
and James Braid are credited with this par seventy picturesque
