| | The Gleneagles Hotel - Perthshire, Scotland, United Kingdom - Superb Photos, Independent Review and Exclusive Online ... |
 | | There was a time, in the first half of the twentieth century, when a stay at Gleneagles was an obligatory entry on anyone's society calendar - in fact before 1982, the hotel was only open during the summer, when the beautiful people made a point of venturing northward from London for a Scottish golfing holiday. |
 | | It is, naturally, an extremely challenging course, with spectacular views and spectacular obstacles, and sits atop what Nicklaus called "the finest parcel of land in the world I have ever been given to work with." This is, after all, the land where golf was born, and nothing less would do. |
 | | Gleneagles is roughly dead in the center of Scotland, at the northern point of a triangle with Glasgow and Edinburgh as its southern corners - which is to say, it's about 50 miles northeast of Glasgow and the same distance northwest of Edinburgh. |
