Enjoy fine wines and local malt whisky’s in the Braid Lounge. We are proud of our strong links to golf and delighted to celebrate James Braid who was responsible for the design of some of the best known courses in the UK. This includes our neighbour, Brora Golf Club, which many would regard as his finest links course!
A little bit about James Braid
A championship golfer, James Braid thrilled people with his golf and left a wonderful legacy of values and traditions for others to follow. He is remembered for his five Open Championship victories and the amazing number of great golf courses he added his stamp to.
He was responsible for more than 400 golf courses in the UK either as original designs, extensions, or revisions to existing courses. Amongst them are some of the finest in the country, Gleneagles, Carnoustie, and Royal Troon to name but a few.
In 1924 he visited Brora and gave us what many would regard as his finest links course.
