Eschewing classics such as Dunbar Golf Club for modern layouts like Craigielaw means that you can have a well-balanced golf vacation just outside Scotland’s capital.

Golf may be the main draw, but East Lothian is much more than just fairways and greens. The region is dotted with castles such as Tantallon and Dirleton, each perched dramatically above the sea. Whisky lovers can explore nearby distilleries, while foodies will enjoy fresh seafood and hearty Scottish fare in the villages of Gullane, North Berwick, and Dunbar.
