The Royal Burgess Golfing Society is the oldest golfing society in the world and it has now been refurbished.
The listed club house building has been upgraded and a new bigger pro shop has been added.
The club has 1000 members, and the modernisation will help with hosting functions and corporate events in the club.
The £750,000 renovation scheme was partly funded with a £580,000 funding package from Bank of Scotland.
Luxury Edinburgh venue, Dundas Castle’s resident dogs welcomed VisitScotland’s Ambassadog recently, to help with his tourism training. The golden retrievers, Burn, Beech, and Bark, who have featured on ABC News in the US, were pleased to show the tourism ropes to George as he sets off on his new role as the official canine ambassador representing the spirit of Scotland.
