Concerns Arise Over New Holiday Accommodation Proposal Near Kilspindie Golf Club
There’s a stir in the air around Kilspindie Golf Club as plans to transform an old bird hide into a holiday accommodation are met with a flurry of objections. The vision is to create an “off-the-grid” holiday let that could serve as a cozy retreat for visitors, but not everyone’s on board with the idea.
A Little Hideaway by the Greens
The Wemyss and March Estate is behind the proposal to convert the elusive bird hide located next to the second and third greens of the historic golf course. The accommodation is designed to be an open-plan living space, perfect for two people looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life, boasting necessary cooking facilities to make their stay comfortable. Access would be a breeze, either on foot or via a golf buggy from the clubhouse’s overflow car park.
