Scotland is a land of hidden gems – and for golfers, Kilspindie Golf Club is one of the finest.

The course lies among nature reserves in Aberlady Bay, the quaint village of Aberlady and teaming waters from the Firth Of Forth.

You may witness sea-birds diving for food while playing these traditional Scottish links and views to Edinburgh Castle in the distance or Arthur’s Seat extinct volcanic cone if looking more closely at its profile.

A few hundred yards down a private single track road takes players away from village again past historical sites before reaching their destination.
