SCOTLAND TBD by Hermiston Securities, Alloa

The company that plans to build a Paul Lawrie “signature” course in Aberdeen has announced plans to build a golf community in Clackmannanshire.

The to-be-named community will be built by Hermiston Securities, a division of J. W. Muir Group. Muir owns Deer Park Golf & Country Club in West Lothian, Scotland, and it hopes to develop a course at Blairs College that’s been co-designed by Lawrie and Robin Hiseman of European Golf Design.

Hermiston’s new community will be in Alloa, a town that’s seven miles east of Stirling, 30 miles northwest of Edinburgh. It’ll consist of 1,200 houses, a 100-room, high-end hotel, an elementary school, a shopping area, and a “championship-standard” golf course.

Late last year, Ronnie Muir, one of Muir’s directors, told the Alloa Advertiser that his company hopes to break ground on the project in two or three years.
