One of my very favorite experiences in Scotland was playing Castle Stuart Golf Links.  The club is relatively new in the highlands, but strong in reputation.  It has hosted several championships, including the Scottish Open.

The whole experience there reached our highest expectations.  A wonderful golf course lay out, beautiful views, outstanding service, etc..  My caddy James was outstanding.  About halfway through the round I asked James if he did other work besides caddying.  He explained that he caddies because he loves golf, but his real job was as a homicide detective for the Scottish Police.   Boy, that was a surprise.  He was a fine gentleman I really enjoyed meeting.
