Just a half-hour drive East of Edinburgh, East Lothian is a golfing paradise, featuring 22 must-play golf courses stretching through 30 miles of stunning coastline, golden beaches and rolling countryside. Known as the sunniest and driest part of Scotland it is open for business throughout the year, offering a warm welcome for every visitor, golfer or not.
Scotland’s Golf Coast is a truly authentic golfing experience and a celebration of the history of the game.

It is a dream for visiting golfers, with all accommodation providing easy access to golf courses.
