On the corner of Golf Place and North Street in St Andrews Scotland you'll find the Dunvegan Hotel. That's about a good 6 iron from the first tee on the Old Course. It's a curious place owned by a couple, one from Texas the other Scottish. I don't know anything about the hotel, but I'd characterized the bar area as part Scottish pub, part American sports bar.
The place was packed when we went there on our first evening in Scotland. The cliental was a weird combinations of American and Swedish golfers. I'd bet a few of the participants were caddies. It was loud and crowed, but it had numerous big screen, high definition televisions. The third round of the Player's Championship was live from Florida, with a five hour time difference. How strange, it was dark (past 11 o'clock), we were having dinner and drinking Scottish ale, on a chilly night in May watching Tiger on his way to a win.
I don't remember what we ate or drank, just that I was really tired and hoping to get over the jet lag on our first day.
