I took my kids (12 & 13 Boy & Girl) for a few experience days with the Blown away team, They had a couple of surf lessons and a Land Yachting session, we all thoroughly enjoyed both experiences and it was clear from the offset how good the day was going to be run given not only the professionalism of all the staff but the warm friendly welcome we received, my son really didn't want to surf but within the first 5 minutes he had changed his mind and now all I hear is "when can we go back....." Amazing experience from the guys and could thank you enough.

We had the best first experience of shooting at SCSC. We were a party of 6 ages ranging from 12- 79, all first time shooters. When we looked online we found the place only opened on Sat's, but sent a cheeky email to ask if there was any possibility of having 6 introductory sessions on a day during the week we were visiting? A very lovely lady, Rosalind, rang and YES we could. On the Friday we turned up, abit apprehensive but we needn't have worried. Andy, our instructor, could not have been nicer. He was very thorough with the safety briefing and off we went. We all hit some of our targets - it is easier when they come towards you!!!!! Andy was there with top tips and advice on how to hit more. The boys were the best - lots of hits even when they were fast and gong away from them. We would recommend this as a great activity for all the family and we will be returning. Thanks Rosalind and Andy.

Want to make your own gin? Located in the historically beautiful Rusacks Hotel, St. Andrews, and overlooking the iconic 18th hole of the Old Course, we have created a classroom dedicated to flavour. It is here that we are excited to introduce our new gin blending masterclass. In our Blendworks gin blending sessions, we will take you through how we make our gin and the history of gin itself before going through some blind tasting and nosing to help find the ideal botanicals for your very own gin. If you've gone for a more unorthodox combination then do not worry, you will get the chance to try it out before committing to the recipe! You then name your gin before hand blending and bottling your creation, ready to take away in a presentation pack. Even better, we save your receipe on the system so you can reorder it again in the future! We also operate as a shop for our range of beer, gin and whisky and can offer expert advice and samples to help find the ideal product.

This spot does have the most wonderful atmosphere which is hard to explain. Worth a visit and judge for yourself- I think you will find you feel the urge to come back another time. The natural setting alone is truly beautiful but there is so much more to this...
