Wot no golf today!
Sometimes some thing or some place comes along and you've got to as Walter "The Haig" Hagen said. "Stop and smell the flowers along the way."
We're halfway round the Kyles of Bute on our way to "Whisky Island"
and The Royal at Tighnabruaich is just that kind of place.
"In that never ending search for the tourist free destination, Tighnabruaich is near the top of the list. Tighnabruaich is a gem of a Victorian highland fishing village, with craft shops and a Lifeboat station, and is about an hour and a halfs drive west of Glasgow through a beautiful landscape of sea, islands and deserted peninsulas."
If you are the ultimate golf addict, you could take a quick trip back doon the water to Rothesay Golf Club
And for those who think you're mad to leave the tranquility of Tighnabruaich.
Advise them you're broadening your horizons as per the comments on the club's web site.
"Most extensive and enhancing views are to be had, embracing elevated ground in no less than seven Scottish counties. The Bays of Rothesay and Port Bannatyne, with the Kyles of Bute and Loch Striven, lie spread out like an extensive lake, which, with on the one hand the sound of Bute and on the other the majestic sweep of the Firth of Clyde from the Cloch to the Cumbrae and Garroch Head present a sea vista unsurpassed for variety and beauty."
