GLASGOW, SCOTLAND -- MB Tours Ltd., specialists in the world of golf and travel, has designed an exclusive eight-day itinerary for discerning couples looking to experience the magic of Scotland, the home of golf and cashmere. Appropriately named Courses and Cashmere, this richly designed package includes golf on some of Scotland's most famous courses, as well as an exciting array of entertainment and the ultimate in luxurious pampering for those who prefer activities off the links.

The idea was inspired by MB Tours Ltd. Directors, Mhairi Mackenzie and Lindsay Brock, who found that many of their clients included not only men and women golfers, but also non-golfers looking for ways to keep busy while their partners were shooting for par.

"We saw an instant need to provide alternative activities for those who don' t play golf but want to accompany their partners in enjoying the beauty of Scotland where golf and cashmere are part of our culture," says Mackenzie. "Our itinerary includes some of the most exciting and unique opportunities in the way of pampering, outings, and accommodations." She continues, "Women not playing golf enjoy three luxuriating spa treatments, helicopter transfers to the golf courses, shopping ‘til they drop, a champagne cruise and afternoon tea at St. Andrew's overlooking the ocean while their partners are playing golf during the day. In the evening, along with their partners, they'll indulge for seven nights in luxury accommodations, breathtaking sunsets, and exemplary dining. What could be more inviting""

Courses and Cashmere has been designed to provide unparalleled comfort as well as exhilarating daytime activities for the ladies. With a mix of rest and relaxation, sightseeing, alternative sports and special venues for shopping, the tour includes such as:

Spa treatments at Turnberry Golf Resort and Spa, and Old Course Hotel Sightseeing, lunch and champagne cruise on Loch Lomond Horse riding, archery, and shooting at Skibo Castle Afternoon tea overlooking St. Andrews Links and the ocean Visit to Edinburgh for shopping/sightseeing and lunch Cooking lessons at the Scottish Cookery School

Those who enjoy the pleasure of golf will find the ultimate golf experience at some of Scotland's most famous courses, including:

Championship Ailsa Course, lodging at Turnberry Golf Resort and Spa Royal Troon, lodging at Turnberry Golf Resort and Spa Royal Dornoch, lodging at Skibo Castle St. Andrews New Course and Old Course, lodging at Old Course Hotel Kingsbarns Golf Course, lodging at Old Course Hotel Carnoustie Championship Course, lodging at Old Course Hotel

"While we specialize in personalizing golf tours of Scotland for women who play golf," Mackenzie concludes, "we've now created something special for those who don't. This tour will appeal to the very discerning traveler who wants to experience Scotland's outstanding golf courses and to their partners who prefer the luxury of cashmere away from the links."
