Ayr is the grand old champion of the bunch, home of the Scottish Grand National and host to high drama and high fashion. Itâs big and bold and knows how to put on a show.
Scotlandâs leading and sole Grade One track is renowned for hosting the countryâs top racing events and has earned several prestigious awards.
Ayr Racecourse received the Sports Venue of the Year honour at the 2023 Scottish Hospitality Awards.
Musselburgh, a gallop from Edinburgh, blends historic charm with modern flair. Youâll find tweed jackets and tech-savvy punters side by side; itâs where tradition meets touchscreen.
In the Highlands, Perth serves up summer jump racing with views over royal parkland. Itâs laid-back, scenic, and has a local buzz; plus, you might spot a kilt or two trackside.
Kelso, in the Borders, is the puristâs favourite. Itâs old-school, intimate, and downright beautifulâwhere the jumps are stiff, and the crowd knows their horses from their hooves.
And then thereâs Hamilton Park, the party track. Think live music, glamorous race nights, and flat racing with flair. If you like your turf with a side of sparkle, this is the one.
