Aberdeen, Grampian & The Northern Isles cover — A Linksland Signature Golf Guide
The David J Whyte Signature Series

Aberdeen, Grampian
& The Northern Isles

Royal Deeside, Castle Country, Whisky Country and the extraordinary isles of Orkney & Shetland
Coming 2027
Aberdeen's own links heritage opens onto a region most visiting golfers never reach — Royal Deeside's castle country, Speyside's whisky trail, and a run of overlooked coastal links along the Grampian shoulder. This guide goes further still, out to Orkney and Shetland, where golf becomes something else entirely: remote, windswept, and unforgettable.
