Camperdown Golf Course, Dundee
Established in 1959, this beautiful championship golf course is located within the magnificent leafy estate of Camperdown Country Park in Dundee.
The Camperdown course has been described in the national press as one of the 'Magnificent 7' courses in 'Carnoustie Country' and is a 'must play' for every level of golfer. Undulating fairways cut through avenues of mature trees and demand precision from the 1st tee shot all the way to the testing approach at the 18th green. Everyone who plays Camperdown experiences a true test of their golfing abilities.

Ballumbie Castle 4K
Ballumbie Castle was built by the Lovell family.
The Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland record the date of construction as 1545,although Historic Scotlandgive a date of 14th–15th century.
The castle comprised a rectangular enclosure, approximately 21 metres (69 ft) on a side, with round corner towers,overlooking the Fithie Burn.
In the early 17th century it passed to the Maule family, who became Earls of Panmure in 1646. The castle was reported as being ruined by 1682, although the remaining east and south walls were later incorporated into the stable block of Ballumbie House.
Today the castle is a ruin again, in private ownership. Access is prohibited beyond the castle's security fencing for reasons of personal safety.
The lands surrounding Ballumbie Castle are known as the Ballumbie Castle Estate, and the lands of Ballumbie Castle remain the caput of this property. These are distinct from the lands of Ballumbie, which were last in the possession of Robert Williamson of Ballumbie, hence there is a Laird of Ballumbie Castle as well as a Laird of Ballumbie.

Broughty Ferry Castle 4K
The castle saw military action during the 16th-century War of the Rough Wooing. After the battle of Pinkie in September 1547 it was surrendered by purchase to the English by its owner, Lord Gray of Foulis.
A messenger from the castle, Rinyon (Ninian) Cockburn, who spoke to the English supreme commander the Duke of Somerset before the castle was rendered was given a £4 reward. The Scottish keeper, Henry Durham, was rewarded with an English pension, income from the fishing, and an import/export licence. Durham later lent the English commander £138.
William Patten, the English writer who accompanied Somerset, noted the castle's strategic importance;
it standeth in such sort at the mouth of the river Tay, that being gotten, both Dundee and St. John's Town (Perth), and many other towns else shall become subject to this hold or be compelled to forgo their use of the river.
The position of the old castle itself was advantageous to modern warfare, as it was discovered that the swift river current made naval bombardment impractical.
Soon after taking possession, the English garrison further fortified Broughty by building a ditch across the landward side of the castle's promontory. Edward Clinton began the refortification, with the advice of an Italian engineer, Master John Rossetti, and left 100 men guarded by three ships. The garrison was first led by Sir Andrew Dudley, the Duke of Northumberland's brother, who hoped to distribute Tyndale's Bible in Dundee.
Andrew Dudley wrote in October 1547 that; never had a man had so weak a company of soldiers given to drinking, eating and slothfulness, although, the house stands well.
The town of Dundee agreed to support the garrison and resist the Governor of Scotland, Regent Arran on 27 October 1547. The Constable of Dundee, John Scrimgeour, and the baillies and council signed the agreement, although under the duress of Dudley's two gunships.
The Earl of Argyll tried to capture the castle on 22 November 1547 and again in January 1548 with 150 men led by the soldier Duncan Dundas, without success.
Thomas Wyndham brought two more ships in December 1547 and burnt Balmerino Abbeyon Christmas Day.
On 12 January 1548, one hundred matchlock guns were delivered from Berwick, with powder flasks, matches, touch-boxes, and bullet moulds.
In 1846 the castle was bought by the Edinburgh and Northern Railway Company in order to build an adjacent harbour for their railway ferry. In 1855 the castle was acquired by the War Office with the intention of using it to defend the harbour from the Russians. In 1860 renewed fears of a French invasion led the War Office to rebuild and fortify the site. The site was rebuilt according to the designs of Robert Rowand Anderson. The walls of the main courtyard were rebuilt and new wing and courtyard were added to the tower. A caponier was added along the south-east side of the courtyard. Emplacements for nine large guns were also constructed. A small enclosure on the west side of the courtyard was also built. During the First World War the castle battery mounted two 4.7-inch Quick Firing guns.
