The Four Winds on Golf Road in Brora is described by the agent as a golfers’ paradise.

How a Scottish company is reinventing the art of weighing ships
Glasgow and Aberdeen-based naval architecture firm Tymor Marine and the University of Edinburgh, with support and funding from CENSIS – Scotland’s innovation centre for sensing, imaging, and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies – have revealed they have hit on technology that will bring the task of weighing ships into the modern age.
The technology uses algorithms applied to video recordings of ships to accurately identify where the water line reaches on a ship’s hull, which it’s hoped can be incorporated into a smartphone app, enabling seafarers to record draught marks and upload them to the cloud for real-time readings.
Record number of people in work, figures show
A record number of people in Scotland are in work according to the latest figures released by the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
The quarterly data released on Tuesday showed there were 2.4 million workers on payrolls across Scotland – an increase of 50,000 from February 2020.
