After 15 years at beautiful Loch Lomond, the Scottish Open this year moves to Castle Stuart just east of Inverness. It is actually pretty close to Nairn as well. It is a peninsula course bordering on the Firth of Moray and Castle Stuart Bay and has plenty of 'old' links style about it...designed by Mark Parsinen, who did Kingsbarns!!

This course looks great. Should be a LOT different for the players compared to Loch Lomond...and more of a TRUE warmup for The Open

I can't wait!!!

Had crap loads of emails / paperwork to do first up...was on computer already. Easy to change screen and do a quick check!!!

You thought about gettin' yourself an agent, old man...that way you wouldn't have to handle yourself!!!

I agree with a better warm up for The Open but was at Loch Lomond for last years tournament and it is a heck of a course
