Scotland's Less Obvious sample itinerary

Scotland’s Less Obvious are those venues that perhaps sit in the shadow of siblings, go under the radar or lack the profile enjoyed by bigger names. However, that takes nothing away from their quality, value for money and experience. Booking a tee time is also usually less onerous a task than at over-subscribed venues where tourists consistently flock.
