What's this trip about?

    Everyone knows that Scotland is the home of golf and of course there are many famous courses - even one owned by Donald Trump! But what many golfers don’t know is that the beautiful Scottish Islands and Peninsulars on the west coast have some amazing courses with incredible scenery. From millionaire owned courses on the Island of Jura to the rough links and machair courses on the Isle of Mull and Colonsay. We have put together a wonderful Inner Hebridean eight or ten night cruise. In most places golfing parties can enjoy a visit to a whisky distillery as well as a game of golf but we would suggest that the distillery visit is after the game! There is an abundance of wonderful wildlife as we travel to the courses and distilleries.
