Real Estate
The first of several exciting real estate developments taking place in conjunction with the new Machrihanish Dunes is the construction of 30 two-bedroom luxury golf cottages overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and the famous opening hole at Machrihanish Dunes considered by many to be the best opening hole in the world. 

The cottages will be beautifully finished inside and out with natural stone and slate roof exteriors and natural stone and hardwood finish interiors that are fully furnished and finished to the highest standard. The property has been thoughtfully configured to best accommodate visiting golfers and will be fully serviced and professionally managed. 

Cottages are available for purchase with the benefit of a freehold fractional ownership title. Unlike timeshare, freehold fractional ownership gives you a valid heritable title that will be registered in the Land Register of Scotland. The title is freehold and is yours for ever and can be sold or passed on to your family. Freeholds are being sold in four weekly fractions, which will be made up from a week in each season. Owners, friends and family will have full use of a cottage free of charge for those four weeks. Owners who do not wish to use their entire four weeks can lease some of their time back to the management company to ensure a return on their cottage by accommodating visiting golfers. 

The cottages will be constructed in three phases with building work on Phase 1, which will comprise 8 cottages, having commenced and are scheduled to complete in July 2009.

In 1618, King James I declares that golf should be allowed on Sundays after the golfers had 'first done their duties to God'.

The first golf equipment purchase on record was in 1502 by King James IV of Scotland from a bowmaker in Perth, Scotland.

In 1567 - two days after the murder of her husband - Mary, Queen of Scots was accused of playing golf instead of mourning.

The first improvement in golf equipment came in 1618 with the arrival of the feather ball, or 'featherie', as it was known. King James I grants monopoly for 21 years to James Melville for the manufacture of golf balls, provided that he does not charge more than four shillings a ball.

The first recorded international golf match pits the Duke of York and John Paterstone of Scotland against to English Noblemen. The Scots won.
