Royal Scots Club30 Abercromby Place Reviewed October 2007 Great Scot! Historically rich, comfortably charming and oh-so-proud, the Royal Scots Club has much to offer WAC members seeking greener pastures (especially those packing a nine-iron; several of Scotland's championship courses are nearby). Centrally located on one of Edinburgh's finest Georgian streets, the Royal Scots Club was founded in 1919 as a tribute to 12,000 members of the Regiment who gave their lives in the Great War. Today, the club offers its members and guests personalized service, top-notch facilities and warm ambiance. WAC members will appreciate reduced overnight room and dining rates and access to the revered members-only Lounge and Library and Fitness First Health Club Tough day on the links? Consider booking the Royal Mews Cottage, a self-catering home-away-from-home next to the club. It offers plenty of private space for lamenting those par-killing shots gone astray! Can't tell a nine-iron from a sand-wedge? Time to go tour a castle. Walk 15 minutes to medieval Old Town, where the legendary Edinburgh Castle (home to Scotland's real Crown Jewels) perches atop its own volcanic rock, and meander back through New Town's great shops and restaurants. The royal treatment Live like a king |
