Myres Castle
Activities
 |
|
Recharge your batteries
with a wide range of activities from the muddy and energetic in the highlands
to the shopping and culture of two great cities in the lowlands.
Discover
Myres Castle's historic links with golf, Scotland's second most famous export.
Or just relax in the library with a good book and a glass of fine old single malt. |
Golf
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.
We
have some of the most famous golf courses in the world within striking distance
of the Castle, notably St. Andrews, Carnoustie, Ladybank and Gleneagles. We would
be delighted to try and arrange tee times for you.
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. |
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.
Tennis
Myres Castle
has its own outdoor, all weather court, within the grounds of the Castle, it is
fully enclosed with nets and has a seated viewing area, perfect for a family or
corporate tournament; we can even arrange a BBQ, picnic lunch or traditional afternoon
tea, rounded off with a Pimms. |

The
Royal Game
The
tennis court at Falkland Palace is known to be the earliest surviving court in
Britain, having been built between 1539 and 1541 for King James V of Scotland.
It is a rare example of the 'jeu quarré' court which was common in France:
a more 'square' court, and with some very significant differences in construction
(and therefore in the way the game is played), than the 'jeu à dedans'
court which has survived elsewhere to become the most usual court for the game
as played today.
With
advance notice we can arrange for guests to play and even receive tuition on this
historic court.
