Your tickets to the 152nd Open are digital and will be emailed to the advised email address prior to the event start date. Tickets need to be downloaded from the official Open Tickets App (the App is available to download in the Apple App Store or Google Play Store). We recommend downloading the tickets to your phone before you leave the hotel as the app requires Wi-Fi to download.

The currency in Scotland is Pounds Sterling £ (GBP).

WEATHER

The weather in July in Scotland typically ranges from 65 – 70 degrees Fahrenheit. 
We recommend bringing clothes to layer as the weather can change multiple times during the day.  Please check the forecast​ before leaving as mother nature can always throw in a surprise

​

ELECTRICAL CONVERTERS

The outlets in Scotland are different than what we have in the United States. In order to charge or plug in any device (cell phone charger, laptop etc.) you will require a converter. We highly recommend purchasing 1 (or more) before travelling as the hotels may be limited in supply based on high levels of occupancy. 
Here is an example of a converter for USA devices to Scottish electrical outlets that can be purchased on Amazon.

RESTAURANT SUGGESTIONS

Some establishments may require a credit card guarantee or deposit to secure a booking especially during this time.  Establishment operating hours subject to change without prior notification.

​
