Perth & Kinross

Perth & Kinross sits at the geographic and spiritual heart of Scotland, and its golf is every bit as central to the nation's sporting identity. Unlike the links-dominated coasts, this is a region that proves beyond doubt the greatness of inland Scottish golf — a landscape of rolling moorland, silver birch woodland and Grampian foothills that has inspired architects and awed visitors for well over a century.
