Kingsfield and Augusta!
Scotland’s Tourism Minister visited Kingsfield recently as part of the launch of a new Tourism Project that we are involved with to attract more footfall To our 4 Star Visit Scotland Facilities .
Jim and the Visit Scotland team were very impressed with our golfing and activity facilities. The following is taken from Jim Mather’s BLOG

Heartlands project
Next it was off to the Linlithgow Canal Society to see and hear about the fantastic Heartlands project that VisitScotland is supporting. Basically a group of businesses has got together and come up with a novel way of attracting visitors – its very own currency.
Included in a £250 short break for two, the £75 worth of vouchers can be used in exchange for a number of pursuits in the area, including trips on the Falkirk Wheel, hiring bikes and canal boats, visiting hotel spas or playing golf. It is the kind of excellent scheme I hope will prove contagious and be replecated across Scotland.
It’s a great idea, a great project and a day on the canal looks a great day out. I also saw the fantastic facilities at Kingsfield Golf Club – including a putting green that would not have looked out of place at Augusta.
To finish I should name check Ronnie Bamberry Chair of Scotland’s Heartland Tourism Project. Many good people have ensured the project has got off the ground, but Ronnie’s enthusiasm and drive are infectious. I know there are people like him doing unsung but crucial work across Scotland. I am looking forward to meeting them!
