The Scottish Government relocation and asset management policy is aimed at ensuring the best use of the existing government estate, providing the best value for money for the Scottish Government as a whole, and maintaining or improving operational effectiveness. This approach means that relocation is an option that will be pursued following a rigorous and transparent process that shows there are efficiencies for Scotland and that the move provides best possible value for money. Opportunities for relocation continue to be assessed.

Details of the decisions on relocation can be found at:

VisitScotland spends £1 million annually on the promotion of golf tourism and marketing is targeted at specialist golf groups as well as more widely across those consumer segments where golf may be an element of the visitor''s trip.

Marketing activity includes publications, direct mailings, sponsorship of major tournaments, a dedicated golf website and presence at the International Golf Travel Market. The promotion of Perth and Kinross as a golfing destination is included in this activity.

VisitScotland''s publication The Official Guide to Golf includes a 36 page section on the Historic Heartlands covering all golf courses in Perth and Kinross. This publication is circulated on-line to 115,000 consumers and includes a feature on the Ryder Cup which will expand in the run up to 2014. In addition to this, The Perthshire Golf Guide, a comprehensive guide to golf courses in Perth and Kinross, is available through VisitScotland''s local and national Visitor Information Centres, from VisitBritain, at golf courses and at golf events and exhibitions throughout the UK and Europe.

Some of VisitScotland''s partners from Perth and Kinross join them at their exhibition stand at the International Golf Travel Market, including the Murrayshall House Hotel and the Gleneagles Hotel who have the opportunity to promote their own specific brands.

The Ryder Cup logo and branding cannot be used in the promotion of golf in Scotland or Perth and Kinross until after the competition at Celtic Manor in 2010. After this point, VisitScotland will integrate the branding into all of its relevant marketing activity.

The Ryder Cup 2014 will deliver significant economic impact to Scotland''s economy and project the country, its golfing credentials and heritage around the world through extensive international press and broadcast coverage.

All partners involved in the delivery of the Ryder Cup are working to ensure these benefits are maximised and the Scottish Government is represented on a Ryder Cup Steering Group, along with EventScotland, VisitScotland, SportScotland, Scottish Development International, Scottish Enterprise, Perth and Kinross Council and the Gleneagles Hotel.

As part of the build up to the Ryder Cup in 2014, EventScotland has committed to developing a range of golf events hosted annually in Scotland. These include the Senior Open Championships, the Scottish Challenge, which is beneficial to Scotland''s future golf stars, and the Ladies Scottish Open which demonstrates a commitment to women''s golf in Scotland. This support package has been in place since 2003 and will continue to 2018 and beyond to ensure Scotland retains a portfolio of quality, sustainable golf events beyond the completion of the Ryder Cup in 2014.
