The Scott Hotel
Built in 1780 as a baronial house for Alexander Scott, The Scott is a luxury hotel in Edinburgh that's kept plenty of its original character. Inside, you'll still find the Velvet Lounge, period fireplaces, ornately carved wood panelling and stained glass that gives the public rooms a proper sense of occasion.
It sits in leafy Southside Edinburgh, surrounded by mature gardens and quieter streets, which makes it a smart choice if you want the city close by without staying right in the thick of it. You're a straightforward hop by taxi or bus to the main sights, then you can come back and switch off in peace.
From a golf point of view, the logistics are nice and simple. There's free on-site parking, so you can load the clubs and get moving without wrestling for a space. You've also got a good spread of golf nearby, from handy Edinburgh options to the East Lothian coast. Courses within easy reach include Bruntsfield Links, Mortonhall, Gullane and North Berwick.
If your plan is city culture in the morning and quality golf in the afternoon, The Scott makes a classy base for doing both.
Who is this for?
Couples and golfers who want a quiet, characterful Edinburgh hotel with easy access to the city and East Lothian.
Who is it best for?
Small groups and societies building a Gullane/North Berwick-style itinerary who'd rather come back to gardens and good food than a busy city-centre lobby.

Accommodation at The Scott Hotel
The Scott has 37 individually designed bedrooms, so it feels boutique rather than big-chain. Rooms blend the building's historic bones with modern comforts, with Elite™ Lily mattresses, quality linens and well-finished en-suite bathrooms stocked with Laura Thomas spa products. You also get the little extras golfers appreciate after 18 holes, including soft towels, bathrobes and slippers. No two rooms are identical, so every stay feels personal rather than cookie-cutter.
Dinner is at Bonnar's, the hotel restaurant, set beside floor-to-ceiling windows looking out onto the secluded garden. The kitchen is led by Head Chef Pier Berretta, with menus that lean into Scottish produce and familiar flavours, done with a bit of finesse. It's a good shout if you want a proper meal without heading back into town, and the setting is elegant without being stuffy, the kind of room where you can settle in after a round at Gullane or North Berwick and enjoy a proper meal in surroundings that match the quality of the golf you've just played.
If you like to keep moving between rounds, guests can use the University of Edinburgh's Pleasance Sports Complex & Gym, around a 20-minute walk or a short bus ride from the hotel. There's also the on-site Oxygen Fitness Studio for a quick session or a stretch before you head out.
Between the quiet location, the mix of heritage and modern amenity, and the straightforward run to some of Scotland's best golf, The Scott gives you everything you need for a golf break that feels considered, comfortable and distinctly Edinburgh. Fancy building this into an Edinburgh golf break? Speak to our team and we'll line up tee times at Gullane and North Berwick around your dates.
