Image Culloden HouseI've spent far too long in the office this week & not nearly enough time out & about. So I'm indulging myself this weekend & heading to the Scottish highlands for our weekend cyber escape. As I'm desperate to pull the spikes on & put stick to ball, the only possible place to enjoy a round this weekend is the venerable St. Andrews Royal and Ancient Golf Course. While Son # 5, our golf expert with the 6 handicap, would probably dismiss my choice in favour of Pebble Beach, I want the brisk breezes of the highlands in my face.
Our accommodation is not far from the course at the wonderful Culloden House. A little chintz & tartan, but oh so cosy! With a Michelin star, I'm sure dinner in-house will be a memorable experience.
So please join me for a round, or just relax by the fire in the luxurious surrounds of Culloden House. Oh & for those of you who want to get golfing, why not book in for an afternoon at the St. Andrews Golf Academy!
My husband also has a 6 handicap and lives and breathes golf. St Andrews is definately on our list of places to travel after children have flown the coop.

I will definitely join you for a round of golf and pray I don't go into one of those sand traps... WOW... those look INTERESTING!
ReplyDeleteI did a painting of St Andrews for my hubby for Christmas one year.
I haven't play much golf this year... VERY sad... from 3 times a week to maybe once a month... hmmmm... think you have inspired me to try a round this weekend.
ENJOY YOUR WEEKEND!

Oh Millie I could certainly do dinner in that tartan dining room ...especially as it has a Michelin ...perhaps a little jig as well. And it looks cosy too and I'm sure it will be memorable as well...I'll meet you by the fire and we can do cheers. Have a lovely time, Dzintra
ReplyDeleteWell you better make sure you take you woollies with you - be damn cold there this time of the year! Funny, because I've just been watching Taggart and loving all those Scottish accents.
ReplyDeleteWhat a coincidence about P.Flett - do you think maybe your boss was secretly the heir to a jam making conglomerate?
I'll skip the golf, but my hubby would love to go. While he's gone, I'll dine in that gorgeous dining room!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, I would that woman with her nose in a book by the fireplace. But I would gladly cheer on anyone with a handicap! Oops, I guess in golf they wouldn't need cheering on right?
ReplyDeleteThen we could meet up for dinner in that fabulous dining room. YUM! Thanks again Millie!

How exciting that you are also a golfer ... hold on, I'm not great but sure do love trying! It's a legacy of the old hockey days I think - I love a good tee off shot ... when the universe is on your side (and that ball goes flying in the right direction)there is nothing better!
ReplyDeleteSt. Andrews is absolutely breathtaking! I have a great pair of golf shoes, but no clubs. Makes perfect sense doesn't it? ;)
