Golf In Perthshire. Perthshire is the perfect
golfing escape, whether its for a perthshire golf break, perthshire golf
holiday or perthshire golf vacation. Approaching its borders from North, South,
East or West you feel a perceptible change. Perhaps it is the clear clean air
or the soul stirring scenery. It could be the relaxing pace of life or the picturesque
towns and villages. Whatever it is you will immediately know that you are in one
of Scotlands most beautiful and distinctive regions.
Perhaps the location
of Perthshire at the very heart of Scotland holds the key to its undeniable attraction.
Bestriding the Highlands and Lowlands, Perthshire offers a surprising variety
of terrain. To the east is one of of Scotlands richest soft fruit growing areas,
west is an area of rugged natural beauty, north it merges into the craggy heights
of the Highlands while to the south there is a more gentle and pastoral landscape.
Golf in Perthshire really didnt get underway until the Victorians took to the
game, however there is a rich golfing heritage in the area and it is widely believed
that the South Inch was used by Scottish Kings for the purpose of Gowff, when
Perth was the capitol of Scotland in the 14th Century. Royal Perth Golfing Society
is also reputed to be the oldest club in the world to hold a royal charter, having
recieved it from William 1V in 1883, a year before the Royal and Ancient.
Perthshires striking landscape was not overlooked by golfs great early architects
with the great James Braid involved in the creation of several Perthshire golf
courses including Alyth, Blairgowrie Rosemount.
Crieff Ferntower,
Taymouth Castle and the Superb Gleneagles Kings
and Queens courses. Each of these wonderful Scottish golf courses is renowned
for its sympathetic blending with the delicate, graceful Perthshire landscapes,
however Braid did not let his sensitive side overtake the need for sport. In all
of these courses he has matched aesthetics with challenge, inspiration with consideration,
and his designs are as examining to golfers today as they were to golfs early
enthusiasts.
Although Perthshire has an impressive pedigree of established
scottish golf courses, it has not stood still in developing its golfing stock.
Many new Perthshire golf courses offer visitors modern course design, set amidst
stunning scenery. These Perthshire golf courses with their excellent clubhouse

mature counterparts.
