Eight of Scotland's greatest links, from the Fife coast to the far Highlands. St Andrews — the home of golf — and Carnoustie, the sternest test in the land, are public and openly bookable, as are the modern marvel of Kingsbarns and the ancient, eccentric West Links at North Berwick. Royal Troon and Muirfield are private members' clubs that take visitors on set days; Turnberry's Mackenzie Ross masterpiece is the lone resort. And in the far north sits Royal Dornoch, the remote Old Tom Morris jewel that taught Donald Ross his trade — a pilgrimage every serious golfer owes themselves. From Old Tom Morris and James Braid to Kyle Phillips, this is the full sweep of links architecture across the country where the game began.
