This championship course is considered one of the top layouts in Britain and has been described as Scotland's ultimate golfing challenge. It is simply a must play for any golfer

Championship track was a real disappointment and really in a bad area near the docks. - Wind blows every day, hard gusts cross the fairways, conditions are not great links without grass fairways. A Pricey 300 GBP with caddie, which is a must -
No inviting views but Hogan's fence is a great driving hole 16th hole. Greens were nice and yes they were fast. Bunkers were big and intimidating. No driving range which is crazy but a great putting green. I believe this is an original Tom Morris course, updated of course. Better off playing KingsBarn or Balcommie which is closer to St Andrews and better tracks. .

Visited the clay shooting centre on Saturday 16th September 2017 for a shooting experience with a group of friends on a stag do, the staff were very friendly, down to earth and just the right amount of sensible to make us feel at ease handling the guns while still being safe and allowing us to have fun, they were happy with us forcing the stag to wear a mankini (think borat) while doing the shooting and they were helpful and encouraging with the varied abilities of our group. My only disappointment was that it didn't last as long as I had hoped, it was raining on and off so we hurried through the shooting probably a bit quicker than a group normally would, but that is in no way a criticism of the centre, more highlighting the fact that I enjoyed the shooting immensely. Great well run centre and I found it to be good value for money

I took the right decision by engaging Strachan Tours for our family trip to Scottish Highlands. It was a 7 days trip and Paul worked out the itinerary - a very detailed one. Though Tourist season was yet to start owing to harsh climate, Paul ensured the trip is enjoyable through meticulous planning. He is a professional guide and an extremely friendly person. Our planned visit to Orkney island could not happen due to unexpected weather conditions and ferry closure. Paul managed to fill in those days with visits to Inverness area and Aberdeen. I would highly recommend Paul and his Strachan Tours and would not hesitate booking him for our next trip in Scotland.
4. Barry Mill
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 82 reviews
Visit this charming rustic beauty of a forerunner to the Industrial revolution. The rural corn mill, still run today by the gentle flow of Barry Burn, was the ancestor to today's food preparation processes and a myriad of complex technologies that sprung from simple water-wheels, gears, pulleys and belts. Enjoy the tranquility of this renewable and sustainable approach to work & food in bygone days. Listen to the splash of the wheel and the rumble of the mechanics as the building shakes itself into life. Tours explaining the significance of these mills and telling some of the tales and stories of those that worked in and around these hubs of community are offered and bookings can be made to see flour being ground.

Friendly staff, small gift shop ranging from adult to pocket money items. Lots of parking and picnic benches. Option of a tour, or a wander about at your own pace. The mouse hunt to keep the kids occupied is a good idea. Stairs fairly sturdy and safe compared to other sites.

Superb little museum. 5 or 6 rooms packed with interest and information and no entrance fee!
Fascinating subject. The film presentation conveys the drama and importance of Bell Rock in maritime history.
Rounded our visit off with a 'smokie' from Spinks' harbourside smokehouse. Brilliant.

Had a lovely meal at this establishment. There was a wide variety of Chinese food all very well presented and beautifully cooked. The staff were very courteous and attentive and quickly cleared away used plates to allow patrons to replenish their plates. The sweet selection was very varied and well set out. Would highly recommend this establishment for all types of meals

Accessible by car third forested area is excellent for dog walking . Gets very busy on public holidays. The car park is quite expensive for entry but the sands are definitely worth s wander. The Forster area has picnic tables between the car park and the beach
8. Panmure Golf Club
Overall Ratings

Design influenced by the five times Open Champion and famous course architect James Braid, this traditional 18-hole Championship links course measures 6,360 yards.We are very proud of our traditions, our Clubhouse and, most of all, our Golf Course which combines the best elements of links and heath.With tight fairways, challenging carries and compact, undulating greens, it is admired by visitors from home and overseas. Old Scots pines and sandhills forged by nature give the terrain an enduring quality in keeping with its long history. Hallmarks such as the 'Hogan' hole (the sixth) and the Buddon Burn (the twelfth) conspire to give you a round of golf to remember.Our Clubhouse is one of the finest old golf buildings in Scotland. Its unique and delightful lounges are full of character. Devotees of the history of golf will be interested to know of our origins, borne of the close trading relationship between Dundee and Calcutta in the halcyon days of the Jute Industry. Friendly staff afford a real Scottish welcome and good food and wine will complete your day here.

Our group have over the past few years played different courses designed by James Braid and which are members of "The Association of James Braid Courses". Not all James Braid designed courses are members of this association. We recently played Panmure for the third time and it is a splendid example of a links character course which provides a fair test of golf without being unduly punitive. On our recent visit we again found the course to be in excellent order and our visit was enhanced by the good weather on the day and the ability of the club to provide coffee and rolls at 10.30am, before we started and drinks and a snack when we finished. It is a course that we intend to return to and which we would highly recommend to others. They should not be disappointed.

Reviewed By johnhouston2 - Knaresborough, United Kingdom
This part of the coast has lots of red-coloured, rugged rocks and is very attractive, and the sleepy fishing village of Auchmithie has a certain charm, with several attractive fishermen's cottages.
The harbour here is now rather desolate, but it is interesting to read about the history of the village and the origins of the "smokie". There is also a nice, traditional Scottish restaurant.
