Visit Carnoustie

The coastal town of Carnoustie is one of Scotland's top golfing resorts. Offering three golf courses, and many more within a short distance of the town, Carnoustie provides excellent accommodation, from a four start hotel to a host of quality hotels and cosy B&Bs, for the players and visitors who flock to the town for golf events and holidays.

Carnoustie's fortunes have not always depended solely on golf though. In 1857 the large Panmure Works was founded in the town. Within a couple of decades it was employing 600 people producing over 5 million yards of assorted textiles each year. Parts of the works continue in operation today. Another early success, and one that also continues, was Carnoustie's role as a centre for malting barley. Barry Water Mill, a National Trust For Scotland property is open to visitors from April to October and can be seen in operation at certain times of the week.
