Scotland - More of our trip

Royal Aberdeen Golf Club, Est. 1790

David tees off on the first at Royal Aberdeen.
Royal Aberdeen, Scotland.
The green awaits....
Another one of the most beautiful walks we took this year. Royal Aberdeen, Scotland. The 18th at Royal Aberdeen as we walk home.
The Clubhouse at Carnoustie Golf Links. Est. 1850
It rained the whole day. This is the only picture I got because David played and I sat in the Clubhouse and drank tea, ate cookies and read my book....and shopped!
But he survived Carnoustie!

Kingsbarns Golf Links
It started raining right before we went off on the first tee. The wind was blowing about 25 mph and it was a "wee bit chilly", but I braved the elements with David and his foursome and walked the course at Kingsbarns Golf Links (without rain pants). David above is bundled up like a toddler in a rainsuit! My umbrella and I blew all over the golf course, but you will see some of the most beautiful pictures following...I am glad I made the walk, and the golf was pretty good to.
The 2nd hole.
6th Hole @ Kingsbarns.

Looking back at the course from the 7th green. You can see the rain!

The 8th @ Kingsbarns.
A view from 6th green of the Castle Course. This was the newest course we played in Scotland. It opened this summer. David really liked it.
