North Berwick West Links

Stone walls, the sea at your shoulder and the original Redan: perhaps the most joyful round in Scotland.
Golf in Edinburgh & East Lothian
A capital city of real beauty, half an hour from one of the richest stretches of links in the world.
North Berwick and its West Links from the Law, East Lothian
East Lothian is sometimes called Scotland's golf coast, and with reason: within a few miles lie North Berwick, Muirfield, the three courses at Gullane, Luffness, Kilspindie and Dunbar. Some are celebrated; others are quietly wonderful.
It also places you within easy reach of Edinburgh, so evenings can be spent in the Old and New Towns, among the city's restaurants, whisky bars and historic hotels.
