 There are over 100 golf courses situated within an hours' drive from Myres Castle. The link between Myres and golf goes back to the very beginning of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews (The R & A). No fewer than three members of the Fairlie family were Captains of the club. In recent years Captain Fairlie donated memorabilia diverse enough to cover a complete wall of the Golfing Museum at St Andrews. This photograph, taken in 1899, from the family collection highlights the unique link that Myres has with the game of golf. We have some of the most famous golf courses in the world within striking distance of the Castle, notably St. Andrews, Carnoustie, Lady bank and Gleneagles. We would be delighted to try and arrange tee times for you. It is always helpful if guests are able to provide us with as much prior notice as possible, tee times (particularly for the most famous courses) are difficult to obtain. As you will appreciate we cannot guarantee tee times but we will do our best to help you. The Old Course at St Andrews, operates on a daily ballot system. There is also a complete corridor at Myres devoted to golf where you can see original prints, photographs, golf book records and medals; tracking not only the progress of members of the household and their friends but also featuring some very famous golfing personalities such as old Tom Morris.
Walking
The celebrated Lomond Hills otherwise known as the 'Paps of Fife' are clearly visible from the Castle and the conservation village of Falkland lies below. The usual approach to reach the top of either the East or West Lomond is to walk from Craigmead towards Leslie and rewards the climber with a view of Fife practically in its entirety. Pitmedden woods lie to the rear of the village and cross the boundary from Fife into Perthshire. A multitude of forest tracks crises cross the hill and the entire area is a conservation area both well marked and accessible. Take a half an hour drive and the possibilities become endless - the walks around the southern areas of Perthshire are glorious and there are far too many to list here. Needless to say staff at Myres are always happy to recommend walks and there are guidebooks and maps readily available.
Field sport
Scotland is a special place for sportsmen. It is widely regarded as the spiritual home of salmon fishing. At Myres there is plenty of fishing and shooting to be done within a half hour drive and working in conjunction with local estates and field sport specialists we can assist in the organisation of these sports. The Salmon beats located on the Tay and Esk rivers are closest to Myres whilst driven pheasant and mixed walk up days can be organised at Scone and Hill of Tarvit.
