Congratulations on a very good article about Scottish golf.
Along with your theme, suggest your readers consider the following for 2 week's great golf:
1) Blairgowrie(Rosemount); Pitlochry; Crieff(Ferntower); Gleneagles( Queen's); Letham Grange;
2) Gullane (1 and 2); Dunbar; North Berwick; Dalmahoy (East and West).
For those with longer visits, I suggest courses such as Boat of Garten; Nairn; Royal Dornoch; Tain.
I have been visiting Scotland to play golf since 1966 - playing the "hidden gems" has brought immense enjoyment to all of those visits.

Heartily agree with your article that there is more to Scotland then a few well known courses.
Many of the new Scottish courses, designed for modern golf and not Victorian golf, are actually more enjoyable than their older predecessors, with better facilities and a younger atmosphere.
Besides that, only playing 'the tourist trail' will mean you miss many historical courses. Golf was more widely played in the early days than the orthodox golf church promotes and many important 'firsts' happened outside Fife. I researched the history of early golf and published the findings on the web partly to promote this and encourage the spirit of adventure you endorse.

Look forward to seeing you again.
