It returns to the Renaissance Club again this week, a year on from Robert MacIntyre holing a putt on the 18th green to win his home open championship for the first time. East Lothian's coastal and rural towns and villages will be abuzz again this weekend, with locals and tourists from across the globe soaking up the atmosphere around one of Scotland's leading sporting events, and hopefully a bit of sunshine too on the 'Golf Coast'. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad East Lothian is notable due to its position as one of Scotland's most sought-after areas for homeowners, reflected in it having some of the country's highest house prices. In fact, Gullane (sixth), North Berwick (fifth), Longniddry (third) and Aberlady (seventh) all rank in the top ten Scottish towns by average house price. Properties at he Fairways in Gullane have stunning views over the hallowed links of Muirfield In addition to the scattering of some of the world's most celebrated golf courses, the region's towns and villages offer a blend of natural beauty, outdoor activities and coastal walks. They also have easy access to Edinburgh by rail and road. In Fife, St Andrews and Strathkinness also rank in the national top 10, fourth and tenth respectively. Residents have access to St Andrews Links, which is rightly celebrated as one of the greatest golf courses on earth. The Home of Golf has hosted 30 Open Championships and is set to host the tournament once again in 2027. Auchterarder, known as the 'Gateway to the Highlands' is home to former Ryder Cup venue Gleneagles Golf Resort.

Andrew Smith, Director of Country House Sales, Rettie Scotland's premier towns are popular with international buyers, including Americans, in no small part due to the peaceful lifestyle and breadth of high-quality golf courses. Since the start of 2025, international buyers from America viewing Rettie's listings have increased by 38 per cent year-on-year. This spike coincides with President Trump's second inauguration. The President, of course, has his own connections with Scotland and golf, although this may not be the main factor in driving the traffic! In terms of our overseas viewings, the US is second only to Spain, with the US states generating the highest amounts of this traffic being North Carolina, California, Virginia, and New York. With more than five million people in the US with Scottish ancestry, interest in Scotland as a place to visit has always been high. However, now we're seeing increasing numbers looking at it as a place to live as well.

Libby woman accused of stealing pickup truck
Jul. 11—A Libby woman is facing a felony charge after authorities say she stole a pickup truck last month before abandoning it on Pipe Creek Road. Janelle Doubek, 40, appeared in Lincoln County District Court on June 30 and pleaded not guilty to one count of theft — unauthorized control of property exceeding $1,500. Her next court hearing is set for Sept. 8 According to the probable cause statement by county deputy Andrew Smith, dispatch received a request for a welfare check on a woman walking in the middle of Pipe Creek Road near mile marker 5 at about 3:49 p.m. Tuesday, June 30. Capt. Brandon Huff responded, but didn't find the woman. He did, however, find an abandoned 1979 Ford pickup in the southbound lane, blocking traffic. When Huff contacted the owner of the truck, he was unaware the truck had been removed from the property. He also suggested Doubek could be responsible for the theft. Later, when the owner was returning to Libby, he saw the accused walking west on U.S. 2 near Pival Electric. Deputy Smith caught up with the woman, saw that she matched the description of the woman on Pipe Creek Road and learned she was Janelle Doubek. When Smith asked her about the pickup, she said, "she was kind of an (expletive), I didn't have a way into town so I stole my mom and (victim's) truck and tried to drive it into town." Doubek was then arrested. When deputy Smith spoke to the owners of the truck, they said Janelle didn't have permission to take the vehicle. The maximum sentence for a conviction on the charge is 10 years in the Montana State Prison.
