Golf
Perthshire is home to some of the finest inland golf courses in the world with 40 to choose from. The area's golfing legacy began when King James IV of Scotland -- who initially tried to ban the game as it conflicted with archery practice -- made the first recorded purchase of a set of clubs from a Bow Maker in Perth in 1502.
Today, there is a wide range of options for all ages and abilities. Choose from scenic Highland layouts, idyllic parkland settings, world famous centres such as Gleneagles and Rosemount at Blairgowrie and many 'hidden gems' spread throughout the area.
Perthshire is also an excellent golfing holiday base as there are over 60 further courses in surrounding Angus, Dundee and the Kingdom of Fife including St. Andrews and Carnoustie, all of which are within one hour's drive.
