Hotel History

When Don & Nancy Panoz, the visionary founders of this hotel discovered a breathtaking cliff-top location overlooking the legendary Home of Golf they set out to create Scotland's newest resort destination.

The Resort was designed in keeping with the historic nature of the area as Don and Nancy were dedicated to preserving the landscape's natural beauty, stunning vistas and the spirit and traditions of the game of golf.  In doing so, they have managed to instill this sense of pride and history throughout every aspect of the hotel.

This International Resort opened in the summer of 2001 and continues the reputation of providing a standard of service and attention to detail that are our hallmarks and truly create the 'Subtle Difference of Excellence.'
