Tuesday, 13 July 2010 INVERGORDON, Scotland
Golf: Royal Dornoch Golf Club Located on the shores of the Dornoch Firth you will have the opportunity to play the most northerly of the Championship courses of the British Isles. Dornoch is perhaps more than most, a thinking golfers' course where it is not enough simply to keep the ball on the fairway. The greens are generally open in the front, but they are also set on plateaux several feet above the fairway. It requires a well struck shot to hold the green and if not, a difficult recovery shot.
Tour: The highland town of Dornoch, with several charming antique shops and gift stores to be found in the town, notably Dornoch Jail and Highland Art Gallery followed by a visit to Dunrobin Castle.
Overnight: Harmony II at berth in Invergordon.
Wednesday, 14 July 2010 INVERGORDON, Scotland
Golf: Castle Stuart. This stunning new links layout. Set along the shores of the Moray Firth to east of Inverness with wonderful views over to the Black Isle. Six holes hug the shoreline while the remaining holes are played over a terraced slope so views out to sea are ever present. A true links course in every sense.
Tour: Visit Culloden Battlefield, the evocative scene of the last major battle fought on mainland Britain and Cawdor Castle. A magical name, romantically linked by Shakespeare with Macbeth. A superb fairytale Castle with Scottish history that you can touch, see and sense for yourself.
Sail this evening to Aberdeen.
Overnight: Harmony II at sea.
Thursday, 15 July 2010 ABERDEEN, Scotland
Golf: Royal Aberdeen Golf Club. The sixth oldest club in the world. The links at Balgownie are located on the northeastern shores of Aberdeen, overlooking the North Sea. The course is a fine Scottish Links with a traditional out and back layout. The front nine stretches between the sand dunes and the North Sea and returns inland on flatter terrain with gorse lined tight fairways. It is a demanding course that will test the skills of all players.
Tour: The Granite City of Aberdeen. The city presents a modern cosmopolitan image and many visitors are often surprised by the many diverse attractions, which this regional capital offers. An afternoon visit to Crathes Castle and Gardens. Look out for some remarkable original painted ceilings. Be sure to visit the award winning gardens, which were established in their present form in the nineteenth century.
Sail late evening to Dundee.
Overnight: Harmony II at sea.
Friday, 16 July 2010 DUNDEE, Scotland
Golf: Carnoustie Golf Links. Host to the British Open on seven occasions and considered by many to be the most challenging of all Open venues. While the links is relatively flat it is exposed to the elements. A combination of length and accuracy are required from the tee and approach shots demand precision to the greens heavily guarded by steep bunkers and burns.
Tour: Enjoy a visit to Glamis Castle, childhood home of Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother, and birthplace of Princess Margaret. Visit Discovery Point in Dundee, an attraction centred on Captain Scott’s famous polar exhibition ship which was built in Dundee at the turn of the century to take Scott to the ends of the earth.

Hallowed in the hearts of golfers the world over, St. Andrews is also a centre of Secular, Spiritual and Academic life. A walking tour is planned around this University town.
