A Miniature Treasure: Introducing ‘The Hebrides’

A Rich History and Vibrant Future
Since its establishment, The Machrie has served as a distinguished getaway for politicians and golf lovers alike. However, the course has faced its share of ups and downs. After falling into administration in 2010, it was snapped up in 2011 by Gavyn Davies and Baroness Sue Nye, both of whom have played pivotal roles in its rejuvenation. Last year marked another significant change as The Machrie found a new home under the hospitality banner of Another Place, which is linked to the holding company Actev II, making way for a series of exciting developments aimed at enhancing the overall guest experience.
