Scottish Open (golf) In 2011 it was held at Castle Stuart Golf Links, near Inverness, due to the financial difficulties being suffered by Loch Lomond. Play was reduced to 54 holes (three rounds) in the tournament due to heavy rain, which caused flooding and landslides.[16] Aberdeen Asset Management took over sponsorship in 2013, but the event remained at Castle Stuart in 2012 and 2013 before moving to Royal Aberdeen Golf Club in 2014.[17] It was played at Gullane Golf Club in 2015 and at Castle Stuart Golf Links in 2016.[18] In 2016, the attendance figures at Castle Stuart were disappointing, with a reduction of more than 20,000 to 41,809 over the four tournament days.[19] In 2017 it was held in Ayrshire, for the first time in its current guise, at Dundonald Links.[20]
