Located at the mouth of the Barry Burn in the Angus and Dundee region of Scotland, Carnoustie is a town of about 10,000 people. This area has a long association with golf with golf being played here in 1527, even before the course was established at St. Andrews. It is the youngest of the Royal Burghs and has a sweeping bay of sand that really catches the eye of all visitors. The townspeople own this town, but the Angus District Council takes care of the administration. In 1890, the Earl of Dalhousie sold the land to the people, so that they could enjoy the recreation opportunities for all time. The Carnoustie Golf Course has been the site of the Open Championship since 1931 and will play host to this golf tournament again in 2007. Even if you come for the exceptional golf, you can still take time out to explore the many attractions for visitors that this area holds. Visit Arbroath Abbey, in the neighbouring town of Arbroath, and the round tower and Cathedral in Brechin – only one of two still remaining in Scotland. Some of the castles that you can explore within a short driving distance from Carnoustie include Edzell Castle and Glamis Castle.
