Experience The 155th Open at St Andrews, then go beyond the fairway on an unforgettable journey through Wild Scotland.
Combine one of the great occasions in world sport with 11 nights discovering Scotland, from the historic streets of Edinburgh and the Old Course at St Andrews to the mountains of Glencoe, the rugged Isle of Skye, Loch Ness, Royal Deeside and the Cairngorms.
Your journey begins with five nights in Edinburgh and two outstanding days at The 155th Open Championship. Experience the anticipation of Round One on Thursday and return to St Andrews for the drama of the Final Round on Sunday, with Ticket Plus admission and return course transfers included on both days. Between Championship days, explore Scotland’s capital with an included Edinburgh Castle and Old Town walking tour, plus time to discover the city at your own pace.
After the Claret Jug has been lifted, the journey continues. Meet your Events Travel Tour Manager on Monday morning and set off on a six-night small-group escorted tour through some of Scotland’s most spectacular landscapes. Cross Rannoch Moor into Glencoe, travel beneath Ben Nevis and past Eilean Donan Castle to the Isle of Skye, then spend a full day discovering Portree, the Trotternish Peninsula, the Old Man of Storr, Kilt Rock and Mealt Falls.
From Skye, follow the Highlands east via Fort Augustus and Loch Ness to Inverness, journey north to historic Dornoch and Royal Dornoch Golf Club, then turn through Moray and Scotland’s Castle Country into Aberdeenshire. Your final day travels through beautiful Royal Deeside to Balmoral and across the Cairngorms to Pitlochry before concluding in Edinburgh.
Along the way, stay in carefully selected 4-star and boutique accommodation, enjoy daily breakfast and included group dining, and travel with a small group of like-minded guests. From the atmosphere of Championship Sunday at the Home of Golf to the wild landscapes of Skye and the Highlands, this is an opportunity to experience far more of Scotland than The Open alone.
Whether The Open has brought you to Scotland for the first time or you’re returning to the Home of Golf, this tour is designed to make the journey every bit as memorable as the Championship itself.
