Celebrating Scotland’s most famous sporting export, the Fife Arms Kilted Open returned for a third year from 16th – 18th May 2025.

The Kilted Open is a truly unique experience, offering the opportunity for golfers of any level to join a 4-ball team or create their own team in the Texas Scramble format. Creativity is also encouraged with a prize for the best team name on offer each year. And of course, the wearing of kilts by all players is strongly encouraged!

The weekend began with welcome drinks and a dinner - an opportunity for participants to meet fellow golfers and connect over their love of the game.

On Saturday 17th May, guests discovered one of Scotland’s most dramatic golf courses nestled in a remote valley of the Cairngorms National Park. A true community course, Braemar Golf Club, is a unique opportunity to play a round of golf overlooked by golden eagles, stags and other rare wildlife.

Welcome drink and canapés
