Carnoustie tourist information

Set on a beautiful sandy bay, Carnoustie is known the world over for its Championship golf course.

Carnoustie Golf Links was founded in mid-19th century, and since the 1930s it has hosted the Open Championship seven times, most recently in 2007. Carnoustie is proud of this record, and with 4 golf courses and one of the oldest recorded golf shops in the world, the sport is centre-stage in this seaside town.

Elsewhere a different local tradition is celebrated at Barry Mill, a working watermill museum which still grinds grain into oatmeal, used in many Scottish recipes.

You will find the local tourist information centre in the Library on the High Street.
