This 19th-century venue is now owned by the US-based Marine & Lawn Hotels and Resorts, as are another couple of Scottish coastal golf destinations - the newly transformed and soon-to-open Rusacks St Andrews and next year’s opening, the Marine Troon.
For the East Lothian hotel, which will also have a spa, they’ve announced Masterchef: The Professionals 2017 contestant, Chris Niven, 37, as their executive chef. (Rusacks St Andrews has Derek Johnstone, another telly show alumni, who won the inaugural competition way back in 2008).
“Hotels can t get away with not having good restaurants these days. It would be crazy not to focus on it, because the room is beautiful and the views are amazing”, says Chris, who has worked at The Adamson in St Andrews, The Printing Press, and The Scotsman Grand Cafe and Bar, both in Edinburgh, among other Scottish venues.

A Blantyre publican has launched his very own Rangers fan book in the presence of some Gers legends.
July will see the launch of three brand new dining concepts - ‘18’, The Bridge, and One Under Bar - within luxury hotel Rusacks St Andrews. The kitchens will be led by Derek Johnstone, winner of the inaugural Masterchef the Professionals competition in 2008. He joins Rusacks St Andrews from Borthwick Castle, where he was twice runner up in National Chef of the Year and was shortlisted for Scottish Chef of the Year at the 2021 CIS Excellence Awards. The 120-room hotel, which overlooks the 18th green at the iconic Old Course, is undergoing a major renovation of its accommodations including a new addition to the property and a transformation of its food and beverage offerings to ring in the summer.
