Proposed Accommodations:

TROON, AYRSHIRE - Piersland House Hotel. Piersland was bought in 1899 for Alexander
Walker, grandson of Johnnie Walker, founder of the Scotch whisky concern. There are many
reasons to choose Piersland House. For one,
Royal Troon’s Open Championship golf
course is adjacent, plus Sir Alexander’s own
Walker Lounge is here, complete with dark
oak paneling and woodcarvings, plus a
selection of more than 200 malts for you to
sample. Best described as a country house by
the sea, Piersland House offers 37 rooms
available in a great selection of styles; rooms
with view of the gardens, standard rooms,
superior rooms, lodge and cottage rooms. Adding to your stay are two excellent dining options.
Take lunch or dinner in the Walker Bar, which offers in addition to its vast array of spirits, a broad
selection of pub fare and more traditional dinner selections. Take a step up in atmosphere at its
widely-acclaimed Red Bowl Restaurant. Red Bowl has been designed to reflect modern dining in a
country-house setting. The décor is tasteful with a contemporary flair, and the chef utilizes local
sources whenever possible. The menu is extensive and seasonal, catering to every taste.
