	Machrihanish
		Part of Machrihanish's appeal lies admittedly in its remote location on Kintyre in the extreme south-west corner of Scotland.
		Many clubs in the British Isles play the beach as out of bounds so as to ensure that the difference in the tide does not play a key (and lucky) role in determining the outcome of a stroke play competition.
		However, Machrihanish has wisely left the beach as a lateral water hazard, thereby relaxing the players on the tee and tempting them to be more bold with their tee shots as being on the beach is not worse than being in one of the right bunkers.

	Aerospaceweb.org \| Ask Us - Machrihanish Air Base
		With the growing Soviet threat of the 1950s, the facility was expanded and the main runway extended to a massive 3.2 miles in length both to serve British Vulcan bombers and for use as an emergency landing strip for NATO P-3 Orion and other patrol aircraft.
		While such a long runway is somewhat unusual and has often been cited as a reason top-secret aircraft like the Aurora would be operating from Machrihanish, the layout and location of the base argue against this.
		In addition, the base is located next to the Machrihanish golf course, one of the most popular golf courses in Scotland.

	World Golf: Machrihanish and Machrie are Scotland's Faraway Links
		A rather ancient route by the great Tom Morris Sr., the Machrihanish Golf Links (can't get enough of that name) is a course that's generally not included in the diets of most links lovers.
		Hard on the shores of the Atlantic near Campbeltown, Machrihanish is still, however, not a forgotten links.
		But, alas, Machrihanish is what it is: an incredible head-rush for 15 holes, or so, then a pleasant -- if not anticlimactic -- stroll to the finish.
